One of the greatest movies of all time

Rating: 10/10 (13 February 2010)

There have been many movies made on holocaust issues, Schindler's List and The Pianist being some of the best holocaust movies ever made. And Life is Beautiful is a highly deserving addition to this list.
Roberto Benigni who acted, co-wrote as well as directed this masterpiece does full justice to the role of Guido Orefice. He is so subtle in his performance, so funny yet being so serious at the same time.He always will be remembered for this role.
Dora, played by his real life wife, Nicoletta Braschi did full justice to this role and the chemistry between the lead actors was nothing short of outstanding.
The rest of the cast contribute significantly with Joshua, played by Giorgio Cantarini standing out among them. The background score is simple yet terrific and truly deserved its Academy Award.
This one was genuinely loved and embraced by one and all, resulting in 3 Academy Awards and many numerous other awards. All in all, a movie that truly deserves all the laurels and recognition it is getting. This is one of those movies where you are definitely going to get moist-eyed and also obtain an experience of a lifetime. Please don't miss this one. Life is really short and of course very BEAUTIFUL.
