Love overcomes all adversity

Rating: 10/10 (24 February 2019)

This movie doesn't trivialise the horrors of the holocaust. It's about sacrifice. Something maybe you only understand if you have children of your own. That no matter what - your job is to protect them. Your only reason for being- is their safety. I couldn't put myself in the position of how tragic the circumstances of any war would be. But I can put myself in the position of a father protecting his son. The love you have for a child surpasses anything. Benigni puts us in a world where the horrors of war have become part of everyday life and the only way to survive is through love. This story moved me when I first saw it in my teens. It still does.
