A must see film!!!

Rating: Null/10 (1 June 2015)

The brilliance of this film is the way it sucks you into the seemingly charmed life of the lead characters, recently married parents of a happy young boy, only to watch their happiness stripped away by WW2. It tears emotions out of you as you watch helplessly along side of them as the war destroys there lives. The performances are so genuine from all the actors, it's no surprise that Roberto Benigni won as an actor and the film won best foreign film! Although it's a depiction of war, it's not quite as hard to watch as some war films as it focuses on the father and son and the unique relationship they have throughout the war itself. I don't want to say to much about the ending other than the way they tied the entire story together in such a sad and yet, uplifting way is a rarity among films. You must watch this film!
