Funny and sad

Rating: 9/10 (10 April 2000)

The humor of this movie is not making fun of the horror of the war. I would say that is completely on the other side. This movie made for me this horror even worse were the love of a father is stronger than soldiers, than war, than anything else. This movie is just sooo wonderful the way it mixes sadness and humor. The way it makes you laugh and the way it made me cry like a little kid at the end like I never did in a holocaust movie (Schindler list of Saving private Ryan, were Spielberg made a good representation of the war).
The only thing I didn't like about this movie is when at the end Roberto plays about the sadness that people feels to put in the movie an American guy. It looked just like he was looking for the Oscars or something. When all the people is crying they put an American over there and Sofia Loren screamed Roberto!!! and Life is beautiful sounded a couple times more, once by Helen Hunt giving it to BEST ACTOR. At least I have to recognized I liked better than Shakespeare in love! Is much better than that one!
Well at least he was funnier than Almodobar this year!
