Similarly, the writer, director and lead actor of Life is Beautiful , Roberto Benigni, is not Jewish. Perhaps that fact explains, to a large degree, the movie's weaknesses in conveying some significant Jewish issues related to the Holocaust. In addition to the unique lessons that Jews take and learn and teach from the Holocaust, that terrible event in human history conveys a message that is universal. The moral of Benigni's story is as critical for Jews as for all humanity. Each human life is precious and should be preserved.
Life is beautiful.
