Stays with you

Rating: 10/10 (30 October 2013)

This is one of my top ten favorite movies of all time. It is absolutely awe-inspiring, emotional, funny, tragic. It was recommended to me by a friend who said it stayed with her long after it ended. I had the exact same experience after watching it. I've seen it several times, and it always has the same impact. The love of the husband and wife is very clear. And the "game" that the father creates to protect his son is ingenious. Of course, the main portion of the story is very sad, because you know what is going on and what they are enduring. The ending brings both tears of joy and accomplishment, but also tears of sadness. A bitter-sweet moment. The actors are excellent in this movie, especially Roberto Benigni - which is why he won an Oscar for his performance. I definitely recommend this movie to everyone.
