Beautiful Movie- Masterfully Done!

Rating: 10/10 (9 February 2014)

Life is Beautiful is a cinematic gem! Exceptional acting, writing and cinematography make it a MUST SEE and one of the BEST movies of all time. I'm so surprised that some reviewers seem to have missed the entire point of the movie- that life with all it's glorious array of emotions- happiness, pain, suffering, joy and ultimately hope is indeed beautiful. The few detractors that feel the movie trivializes the holocaust must sadly be extremely cynical and hard-hearted to fail to understand it's message- that much like in Viktor Frankl's "Man's Search for Meaning- "Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of human freedoms - to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way." Choose to see this masterpiece and have your heart strings strummed.
