Life Is Beautiful - years on still class.

Rating: 10/10 (7 December 2013)

I recently noticed that I have scored a lot of films extremely high (on IMDb). The first time I had watched these films was many years ago. I thought out of respect to them films I should put finger to keyboard and comment.
My comments are: Firstly if you watch this film and it's not a movie that will have a lasting effect on you, then maybe film is not your medium. I suggest this could be the most perfect balance of hysterical comedy and serious drama ever made in film.
Secondly can any three words highlight a films content so strangely, Life if beautiful? The focus given to the strength of human nature in adversity but somehow delicately handling the Holocausts content.
Thirdly, the film could stand alone on the acting. Roberto Benigni incredible, the doctor who loved puzzles, the wife's portrayal of pure good nature – they could have all won awards.
Laugh and cry in the same moments is something that special – this film did it.
As a farther in times of stress and panic - Guido is still a role model in the back of my mind years on. LIB Respect Paid.
