A wonderful, inspiring story of love and hope

I had no real idea of what I was about to watch when I put on "Life is Beautiful". I wasn't prepared for dubbing or the era of the movie.
I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly I came around to appreciate the storyline. Here was a man intent on maintaining his optimism, love of life and appreciation of all the good things he was surrounded by.
The holocaust story was inevitable, as you saw the inference towards the Jews, but it was so secondary to the eternal quest for this man to keep his wife and child happy, safe a reassured in circumstances I could never imagine.
It truly was a lovely, positive, wonderful story, and I would never imagine saying that about any film involving the Holocaust. Forgive my happy review amongst the terror of what occurred. The director, actors and all involved did an excellent job. Congratulations to you all, and thank you.
