One of the Most Beautiful Films!

Rating: 10/10 (20 November 2017)

Wow this film surprised me. Just so you know, this is my review of it subbed, not dubbed. The first have of this movie was full of great laughs. It's so hilarious, that it could get up there with some of the best comedies of history like Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb(1964) and Some Like it Hot(1959). The first have had it's somewhat sad moments, but not too many which was just fine. The first half had a great relationship between a Jewish man(played by Roberto Benigni) and a German girl(played by Nicoletta Braschi). Guido does several funny things to get her attention which amazes her and at the end(of the first half), when Dora had the decision to either be judged by others or not, she chose to be with Guido, which all seems to be a perfect first half of the film. That, on it's own, could've been a full film but this film takes risks, and BIG RISKS not to say the least. Who knew a Holocaust comedy could exist without being offensive in some way! This was amazing! This film combined humor and sadness into one; I believe it's called tragic humor. I wouldn't call it shock humor, though those who didn't see the movie may assume that's the type of comedy. Just the comedic timing is perfect every single time and it never fails without tears or a laugh! Oh, then there's the ending. I'd say it has the most sad ending of all time! I highly recommend this film to really anyone and this to me is the best foreign film ever made, and is in my top ten. I give this movie a: 10/10
