Rating: 10/10 (25 January 2000)

La Vita è bella is set in Italy during the times of war between Italy and Germany. It is about a waiter who finds true love with a beautiful Italian lady whom he continues to 'accidentally' run into. He eventually marries her and has a child called Joshua. The family is taken to a concentration camp women on one half men on the other.
Whilst all old people and children are being gassed to death Guido Orefice (Roberto Benigni's character) is hiding his son Joshua from the soldiers. He turn this whole experience into a game for Joshua and tries his absolute hardest to keep the truth away from him, in this the years best comical drama.
Roberto Benigni was marvelous. He could make you laugh and cry at the same time. He deserves all the credit that he has received over such a magnificent masterpiece. The movie itself can send a tingle up your spine. Whilst the acting is nothing less than perfect.
La Vita è bella is a definite must see for the whole family. It will definitely stick to you like glue. I give it a 10/10
