Beautiful

Rating: 10/10 (24 January 2006)

This movie is a heartwarming journey into the soul. Set amidst the outbreak of WW2, and concentration camps, this is the journey of one man and his family, and their unbreakable bond and love for one another that is able to endure even the harshest of situations. The main character, Guido, has the amazing ability to see the positive and the hope in even the most desperate and frightening times. This movies is a spiritual renewing, "feel good" pleasure that has a lot to teach us about the small joys that are present everywhere if we only just take the time to look for them.
I only saw this movie once on TV, but its impact has stayed with me forever. This is one of those films that you just are not able to forget because it has such a positive and uplifting message. The acting, and the scenery are also done very well. Taken together, this film is a work of art that everyone should view at least once.
