A beautiful movie to learn beauty of the life regardless of any situation
Movie starts with opening scene of arezzo Italy 1939,,first long shot that gives glimpse of arezzo Italy ,,viewer gets to know how that place would be----this is known as identification with the place,
Follow in or plot is very interesting bcz organization of events is in shape ,,one by one scene that strengths that character and reveals character personality and here benigni encashes the Keaton and Chaplin ways,,,in silent era Chaplin did not create magic with dialogs but by the actions and comedy of errors
Bengini used Stoic and deadpan elements, is a form of comic delivery in which humor is presented without a change in emotion or body language, usually speaking in a casual, monotone or very serious, solemn, matter- of-fact voice and expressing an unflappably calm, archly insincere or artificially grave demeanor.
As bengini is co writer and a well known comic actor ,,he definitely worked hard to bring forth the situations more humorous this movie is the example of writing ability and perfect comic timing
Main lead Guido is in relaxed position and his frnd is describing story breaks are gone and suddenly he feels that breaks are gone and that roller coaster ride happens that gives you pleasure of green scenery and comic situations followed by events where
People are waiting for the prince and Guido emerges as prince
Small comic dialogs and situations
He meets with Dora and in that scenario ,,he says birds flying and women fall from sky and when he leaves he uses stick to raise his hat ,changing hat scene,,meets Dora's fiancé to open book store and his denial and pot falling on his head and in his hat eggs kept by Guido ,and Guido running and falling on Dora,,going for waiter job and description to hotel owner,,concentration and will power magic
Snow white and 7 seconds,,fake identity of inspector and telling about our race is superior situation opera scene,,taking Dora in his frnd's car
Red carpet for Dora and moving generates love and affection between both of them and and praying to Mary situation
All the hotel scenes till Guido elopes Dora
Second half Second half belongs to miserable condition of Jews and other people during world war -2 ,,the holocaust situation and gas chamber killings and forced labour ..but Guido with his charisma to deal with the situation with spontaneity that is the main highlighted quality of Guido from start to finish in the movie
Person beside Guido--They are looking for someone who speaks German, to translate their instructions. Guido: Me! I'll do it, I'll translate! Person beside Guido--- Do you speak German? Guido: No.
Guido's interpretations fro German to English that has two elements humour and pity
And as Guido describes to his son that they are gonna play a game ,,to earn more an more points and to win a tank and then again a lot of situations and finally Guido got shot in order to find his wife but he wins to save his child and eventually Dora meets her son Josue,,
Comedy and tragedy two genres and one movie ,,I personally feel that mixing comedy with tragedy isn't easy but bengini's grip on comedy is so strong that he manages to coordinate with comedy and tragedy
Well I love this movie ,,I feel very much emotional and happy at the same time when I watch this movie ,,
Hats off to director ,co writer ,actor (Robert bengini)
