very good movie.

Rating: 10/10 (28 April 2006)

This is definitely one of my favorite movies. I sometimes don't like movies with subtitles, but I loved this one. Subtitles are not even needed to see the passion that comes from actors that portray the characters. All of the scenes are beautiful and well shot also. You learn to love Guido and his family very quickly, and the way he deals with the hardships in his life shows his selflessness. Even when he and his family are brought to a concentration camp, he prevents his son from realizing what is really happening by pretending that its all a game in which if they win, they will win the ultimate prize of an army tank. The real prize that Guido gives his son in the end is not a tank, but the gift of life after many near death experiences.
