A movie that truly proves that Life is Beautiful

Rating: 10/10 (6 October 2007)

This movie is one of the ten best movies I have ever watched. Life is Beautiful(La Vita e Bella) is an Italian film which is set in 1930's Arezzo,Tuscany which is in central Italy. Roberto Benigni's performance as the imaginative and humorous Guido Orefice is one of my favorite characters in film but Benigni is also good as he also directed and co-wrote the script for this film. This film won three Academy Awards which were Best Actor-Roberto Benigni, Best Foreign Film and Best Dramatic Music Score and was also nominated for seven Academy Awards including Best Picture,Best Director-Roberto Benigni, Film Editing and Best Original Screenplay which it would win three out of the seven. This is one of my ten favorite movies of all time which I usually compare with The Truman Show as it starts out comedic but quickly takes a dramatic turn. Even thought this film is in Italian,this is still a film that cannot be missed.
