LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL: THE SCRIFACE A FATHER MADE

Life Is Beautiful is an Italian language film run in 1997, which tells the story of a Jewish Italian, Guido Orefice, who must employ his fertile imagination to help his family during their internment in a Nazi concentration camp. The movie is World War II theme, black humor, which won 71 Oscar Best Foreign Language Film, Best Actor, Best Original Film Score three awards.

“This is a simple story, but not an easy one to tell. Like a fable, there is sorrow, and, like a fable, it is full of wonder and happiness,” with these words, a narrator, whose identity is hidden from viewers until the end of the film, sets the plot in motion.

Films which the subject is wars always remind me of killing and gore, but the film is beginning with funny plots. Guido, our hero, is definitely a source of considerable mirth that made me uncontrollable laughing. Thus, I once doubted that it is really a war-themed movie.

In the first half of the film, it tells us a love story between an Italian young man Guido and a beautiful young female teacher Dora, which Guido unexpected encounters Dora, capturing her heart through his innate humor and sincerity. Then, Dora gives up her rich life to through the lifetime together with Guido. They have no cars and no costumes. Although Dora go to work by bicycle rode by Guido, she always looks at her beloved husband and son with sheer bliss.

In the second half of the film, World War II has already begins. Guido, Uncle Eliseo and Giosuѐ are forced onto a train and taken to a concentration camp on Giosuѐ's birthday. Dora chooses to follow them to the death camp. She knows what it means to concentration camps, but she firmly tells the German officer: “They are my husband and son, I want to with them.”

The lives of Nazi concentration camps begin. Under the brutal persecution of German Nazis, the great father lies to his son to keep up Giosuѐ's spirits that we were engaged in a game, people who play by the rules will win the final prize—a tank. He tells him that if he cries, complains that he wants his mother, or says that he is hungry, he will lose points, while quiet boys who hide from the camp guards earn 1,000 points. Despite being surrounded by rampant misery, sickness and death, innocent Giosuѐ does not question this fiction because of his father's convincing performance and he has done his best to get 1,000 points to return to their home as soon as possible.

Nazi is eventually defeated, and Guido maintains the game until the end. At the last night in the death camp, Guido, tells his son to stay in a sweatbox until everybody has left, trying to find Dora but is unfortunately caught by the Nazis. On the way to his death, he imitates the Nazi guard as if the two of them are marching around the camp together to appease Giosuѐ and make his laugh last time. Giosuѐ is laughing, but my tears were swimming in my eyes. There was no bloody scene of Guido's death, and only several sounds of rifles which declared the destiny of this great father. At dawn, Giosuѐ crawls out from the sweatbox, when a real tank lumbered to him. He is held on by an American soldier, and on the way home, he is overjoyed reunited with his mother, “We won, a thousand points, we are taking the tank home, we won”, not knowing that his father has been killed. At the same time, we hear the voice of the hidden narrator, “This is my story. This is the sacrifice my father made. This was his gift to me.” The same voice over that began the film identifies itself at the end; it is the voice of the grown up Giosuѐ; it’s the survivor of the Holocaust, who has been telling his story.

It is a film that needs to be given careful consideration. First and foremost, like the title of the movie, I strongly felt how wonderful life is and I began to learn to cherish the life. Life it self, like a fable, might be a paradox which is full of sorrow, wonder and happiness. As we all known,

Guido, the father, is played by Roberto Benigni, who also directed and co-wrote the film and personifies the heart of those many fathers and mothers who lived and died for their loved ones in Nazis’ camps across the Europe. Whether it’s the film in which Benigni’s Guido, marching to be shot, does his “goosestep” and winks to encourage his son for the last time, the message is the same—love in lives are giving power, mightier than death itself.

In face of the cruel war and indifferent humanity, Guido overshadowed the cruel fact by white lies, protected his young child’s mind by sacrificing his life. The power of love can overcome the darkness and fear. It can beyond everything. Life is beautiful, that is what a father taught his son with his life.

The world we lived is that the severe tragedy exists with the eternal love and the everlasting hope. Be a human being, we are destined to cope with a lot of pressure, failure and anything that makes us distress and dismay. However, unless there is hope and love, we couldn’t be strong-spirited. Hope springs eternal in the human breast.

What’s more, we should ask ourselves some questions. Are we ready to face the storms and challenges of our lives? How can we do that? How much do we love our beloved parents? How deep they love us and how deep we hurt them? And living in such peaceful place, such comfortable situation, how could we complain again and again?

In the last analysis, through the whole film, we could see some hope for the future and feel love for the life, even if when they are arrested in concentration camp. Life is beautiful only when we observe it with heart. So just stop complaining and begin to learn to enjoy the life, cherish love and the entertain hope.
