"Life is Beautiful"

Rating: 9/10 (28 February 2000)

This is definitely one of the best movies I've seen in years. What I think is so spectacular is that it doesn't try to be perfect, with fancy locations and extravagant costumes. It gets right down to what a movie should be, which is an incredibly acted and heart-warming story.

I hadn't seen this movie when Roberto Benigni won the Oscar for Best Actor. In fact, I thought he was just an enthusiastic guy, and really nothing more. But when I saw "Life is Beautiful" a few months after the Academy Awards, I realized that Roberto Benigni was truly a talented actor...one of the best today!
"La Vita è bella" or "Life is Beautiful" is a wonderful story that is romantic and touching. It also shows the horrors of concentration camps. So I give it a 10 out of 10, and recommend it to anyone!
