people, get it together!

Rating: 10/10 (21 February 1999)

let me first of all say, i don't see how anyone could possibly
think this movie makes light of the horrible tragedy of the
the holocaust. ie. benigni (guido) going through the fog at
the concentration camp & stumbling upon a heap of bodies,
thrown into a pile like rags. the expression on his face, a
reminder to himself of where he is, & EXACTLY WHY HE MUST SHIELD
HIS SON FROM THIS! ie. "the game" there are too many scenes where you don't know which reaction to
use, tears or laughter. benigni really has helped make
something very special. not a lot of money was put into this picture, yet many of the
scenes are from a cinematographers viewpoint, stunning to say the
least. i don't want to give anything away from the movie, but there is
scene after scene where you cannot but appreciate the time spent
and freshness benigni brings to the silver screen.10/10
by the way, if you throw enough money and talent at a picture,
it doesn't seem too hard to get the academy's nod when it comes
to oscar time. TAKE A GUESS WHICH MOVIE(S) I'M TALING ABOUT.
