LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL really deserves Oscars (review)

I was very sentimental and I really cried when we watched Life Is Beautiful (or in French, La Vie Est Belle). The movie was really touching as it was set during the 30s. It was a story of a Jewish man who had a wonderful romance with the help of his humour. With the comic relief at the beginning, I was able to assess that every scene is entertaining.

ABOUT THE MOVIE

The love between Guido and Dora was unconditional as Dora chose Guido despite that she was engaged with a rich Fascist man. Just as Guido loves her, they went away from Dora's parents and five years later they had a son named Giosue. The family lived a happy and simple life, Dora is a teacher and Guido is having a bookstore. They were able to sustain their needs. Even though they were discriminated by the residents living there (because they were Jews) they just ignored it and always taught Giosue to disregard it. They had their hopes and dreams too for Giosue's future until one day, from work, Dora was just shocked having their door swung open with a mess on the floor. She was worried where her husband and son had gone until she realized the two were sent to the Nazi concentration camp.

Amidst the fuss and the tension getting up, they were still a family together as Dora joined the camp too. As for the poor Giosue, Guido was doing all his best to hide him as well as convincing him that what is going on is just a game and all they have to do is to earn points by being silent and refrain from asking food. All throughout the movie Giosue is innocent and he was positive that they will get the first prize, having a real tank!!! The story ended when Guido was shot after being caught. Days later, the Nazi government decided to stop the persecution. Giosue saw his mom after that.

REFLECTION

My over all view of this movie is that it was really hard for the Jewish people to live simply with freedom and dignity. They were discriminated and always at the bottom.Therefore I conclude that I am lucky to be in this moment of time, where I am free to exercise my right and to have a clean reputation as a citizen. As for this movie, you deserve more the honor, and my salutation. Have an enjoying Saturday!!
