An outstanding landmark film

Rating: 10/10 (20 January 2002)

Obviously not everyone will find this to be a great film with a most unique perspective of the most horrendous times of the 20th century. However Roberto Benigni did not create this film for the box office. He told a story of about the power of the human spirit. This work will stand by itself as one of the great film perspectives, which reveals the power of the human spirit over the evil and terror. I'm happy to see so many people who wrote reviews here did in fact find this to be a great work of our time. I saw this film on the big screen in its first release and again on home video and cable. It's just as powerful in all formats. For those who love great stories this film is a must see. This is one of those few films that actually deserve the '10' rating. This story will make you laugh and cry at the same time. Not too many stories can do that.
