Life is beautiful

Rating: 9/10 (19 January 2006)

I found this film an amazing inspiration which shows us that the virtues of cheerfulness and keeping our spirits up can go further than ever imagined.
This is a story of a man who manages to save his son from a horrific fate by preventing the latter from losing hope, and helping the boy to relate his experiences in the concentration camp to what a child is more used to, a competitive game. Guido the father, shows us that even the most inhumane realities do not have to bring our spirits down, and through this positive mentality, we can even conquer horror stories as brutal as the holocaust.
