Thank You for this film

Rating: 10/10 (14 February 1999)

I was amazed and appalled that anyone would compare the sophisticated methods and style of Roberto Benigni to one as course and vulgar and banal as Jim Carrey. With that said, La Vita E Bella is a beautiful film - and Roberto Benigni is a beautiful human being. A rare individual, a rare talent, there is something sweetly divine about his film, and the essence of love that permeates through man made horrors. We all have free will, some use it to express dignity, love and freedom. And that is what Roberto Benigni does - in the darkest of hell he is a ray of light.
