What a solid movie ! Behind its comedy, contains a very sad story !

Rating: 10/10 (14 July 2016)

La vita e Bella, subtly is a movie about "the hard times" of Jewish, packed with semi physical-dialogue comedy. In the first watch, this film sending its form with catchy and vintage style, such as those Cinema Paradiso. Yes, because of its catchy love story and incredible music score, i got easily erupted by sentiment and admiration. Instant 10 star for this potent Italian film.
It was directed and casted combinedly by the Italian underrated Roberto benigni. In that year, this film win 3 Oscars for best lead actor, best music, and best foreign film. Sad to hear the critics goes adversely, maybe some people just cant stand and condemn those dark era of Jewish being made fun to. As the technical aspect of movie, this film is just meh. Insipid art direction and severely prosaic. Besides the lead, the cast are reprehensible and the cinematography seems reach paucity level of interest. But when we see from the story and moral impact, i need to confess it is impressive. Two of my favorite scenes are when benigni rolling the red carpet for his lover in the trench of the rain and when benigni hijack prison's microphone to advocate his lover everythings gonna be alright. These scenes incredibly catchy, beautiful, and feels like grandiose, plus with vintage music score seems calming.
The ending also one of my top attention. The fact that the ending is gloomy but heroicly made also one of the strongest point of the movie. Benigni seems intrepid to made deviant ending those days. Unhappy, but to unmask the dark side of the history seems expedient. This is what i like from Italian movies, they attend to surpass the proliferation of happy endings. They lease the canvas and fill it with their own trepidation portrayal of realities. Then these realities that possessing the sentiment aspect of their movies not by cheap forced sentiment scenes with people hugging each other supported by unnecessary music score. Italian is vice versa and they are elegant.
