Based on the Holocaust

Rating: 7/10 (1 May 2013)

"Life is Beautiful" Review Life is Beautiful was a story about a family and their troubles of World War II. Its main character Guido played by Roberto Benigni sheltered his son while at one of the camps where Jewish people were kept during the Holocaust. This is very touchy subject and you don't see many movies like this talking about at all. There are some elements that remind me of another story about survivors of the Holocaust the book is called Maus.
Maus was a story of a son asking his father what it was like during the Holocaust. Some scenes remind a lot of the story. They might not be exactly the same but two Dads trying to keep their sons alive as well as their family. Roberto Benigni character does a great job showing us how life is there for all of us and how that we need to make our children feel safe. Throughout the movie he gives his son courage by playing a game through the time they were captured to the time where the tanks of the allied forces rolled in. It was a story of how a kid and his dad fought through the rough times of the holocaust. This was a great movie, and I recommend to anyone, but also not just because it was a good movie but because there is a great lesson to learn from Roberto Benigni and his movie that he not only stared in but also directed the movie.
