I never cry and it made me cry.

Rating: 10/10 (10 April 1999)

'La Vita E Bella' was the most touching story of love and the power of the individual in quite a long time. In my opinion it was the best movie of the year. It had everything that the other films nominated for Best Picture had and so much more. It was the touching yet cool love story of 'Shakespeare In Love', it was the power-of-the-individual saga of 'Elizabeth', and the touching yet realistic take on World War II of 'Saving Private Ryan' and 'The Thin Red Line.' Roberto Benigni was the maestro of one of the true greats of all time which only adds to his resume as one of the funniest people in the world. 'La Vita E Bella' was a truly beautiful movie.
