Big liar!!

Rating: 5/10 (24 November 1999)

Benigni's films usually are composed of funny little lies that all worked out at the end, but I just don't believe it in this film. First of all, he won over this beautiful woman by lying to her all the way! Sure, it's charming, then why don't we all do that to our loved ones?! At one point, even the little boy knew things were "really" wrong, yet the father still persisted on his lie which was too big to take it back. It's like the Father had to lie to himself! It would be interesting if the boy could actually "correct" his father and pull him out of his hopeless lies.
