Great for all ages

Rating: 10/10 (6 January 2005)

I am a 15 year old sophomore in Colorado, and I was in awe at the masterpiece that Roberto Benigini has created, without the excess use of profanity, sex, and violence. The story was wonderfully splendid and the abrupt switch in gears from comedy to drama didn't halt his storytelling process. He greatly deserved his Oscar, and he should have won in more than just that territory. I have recently noticed that many of my favorite films are foreign. With film makers like Myazaki and Benigini, it's no wonder. Other films to see if you liked this: The Diary of Anne Frank, Children of Heaven, Saints and Soldiers. This is one of those rare movies that can be shared with the family! - Sparky
