Life truly is beautiful

Rating: 10/10 (31 December 2000)

This is a movie that will make you laugh while you are crying. Roberto Begnini deserved the oscar for best actor for this film by portraying a father who does everything in his power to keep his son thinking it's all a game for his birthday, and not the terrible truth of the horrors of the holocaust. Nicoletta Braschi also does a terrific job and the little boy is so adorable you just want to adopt him. Hopefully this movie will propel Begnini to greater heights on the US Market. After you see this movie you will truly believe Life is Beautiful.
