Beautiful

Rating: 10/10 (27 April 2005)

Rarely have I ever watched a movie that touched my heart so much... this review might be a spoiler, but I must say this: I sobbed--literally, sobbed, uncontrollably at the end of this movie. It was the most excellent, moving, wonderful film I have ever had the privilege of seeing. Life is Beautiful is beautiful. No doubt about it. It will open your eyes, and make you livid with rage at Hitler and his minions. It will also capture a place in your heart--you will never think of a Holocaust survivor the same again. I have a profound appreciation for those brave souls who lived through that horror--and for their legacy.
