This movie is beautiful...

Rating: 10/10 (24 July 2013)

The first thing to love about Life is Beautiful is Guido. Roberto Benigni plays the most lovable and clever romantic to grace the silver screen. His character is spectacular, and the writing is phenomenal. Roberto Benigni is like that in real life, as one can see from his Oscar acceptance, as he received Best Actor and accepted on behalf of the film when it won Best Foreign Film. It is by far Benigni's best film, and will always be one of my all-time favorites. If you like an emotional drama-dy, you'll love Life is Beautiful. The music is glorious, the story unique, the writing oh-so quotable, and the feelings you'll have while watching are truly special. There's a reason this film is in the top 50 movies on IMDb. You need to see it. If you don't like subtitles, many copies are available dubbed in English (although the Italian is quite lovely). I highly encourage you to give this one a watch. Or several.
