‘Life is beautiful’ is fabulously directed and interpreted by Roberto Benigni who plays the role of Guido Orefice. This film received countless awards like three Academy Awards (thebest film, best actor and the best foreign film), other than several international awards.
This film
is set in Italy in 1939,when Guido arrives at his uncle’s house in Arezzo in order to work in a hotel. There he
meets Dora, a beautiful Italian teacher,
brilliantly played by Nicolleta Braschi (Roberto Benigni’s real-life wife) and
he immediately falls in love with her.
The film is
clearly divided in two parts, in the first one, there are plenty of different
funny situations between Guido and Dora, and then they get married and have a
little son, Giosue. In this second part, Guido and Giosue, are sent to a concentration camp given that they are Jews.
Dora decides to go with them to be with her family, but they end up
separatedsoon as they arrive there.
Despite
this horrible situation, Guido makes up an ingenious story for his son not to
realize the horrible place they are in and the atrocities they are surrounded
by. He tells his son that they are participating in a contest to win a tank, so
that he doesn’t suffer and to smooth his stay in the concentration camp.
Through the eyes of the innocent Guido, we can witness the horrible situation
that Jews experienced during Nazi holocaust. Unbeknownst to him, however, his
parents are undergoing a gruelling experience.
‘Life is
Beautiful’ is a film well worth seeing. It is a highly entertaining film and it
is bound to keep the viewers absorbed from the beginning to the end, especially
thanks to its unforgettable soundtrack, arranged by Noa, which you will never
forget .If I were in your shoes, I would not hesitate and I would definitely
watch this charming, yet heart-renderingfilm. In my case, I can recall every
scene of this masterpiece by heart.
