Customer Rating: Summary: Life is Beautiful Comment: If we could all view life in the way this main character, did, LIFE WOULD BE BEAUTIFUL, always!!!!!!!! Story inspires hope and the deepest love a person can offer. Even in the face of "hell" God's pressence was kept alive by the power of ONE man. An inbelievable film. A MOST SEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Customer Rating: Summary: Dad teaches son to win against impossible odds Comment: A wonderful story to illustrate a father teaching his son that life is a game... that can be won if you guard your heart and grow your attitude. A concentration camp can't stop the father-son bond because of the dynamic principle of making the choice to have an incredible attitude.
No matter what you are facing today, this story will inspire you to face it with a new found courage to see the beautiful gifts that are often over-looked by those too busy or worried to see the joy. My perspective on life was broadened by watching this amazing story. I believe that your life will be blessed as well.
Here's a great coaching tip. Actively watch it by viewing it the second time with a legal pad to chart out the powerful insights that carry this family against impossible odds so that you can apply them to your own life. It's that good. Customer Rating: Summary: Words aren`t sufficient... Comment: Fantastic movie, a classic beyond description. The first 10 minutes I was thinking: "Crazy italian movie, didn`t I have another film lying here also". 20 minutes later I am captivated - the story is touching, deep, but the mood is easy although the rather grave setting of the story.
This is a must-see - above and beyond most other movies made. Customer Rating: Summary: One of the greatest portrayals of love Comment: This is one of the greatest movies ever! It's about a Jewish fellow in pre-WWII Italy who falls in love with a rich Italian Christian noble. They get married and live happily as WWII erupts. Their little son Jozue grows up oblivious to the horrors of the day thanks to his wonderful parents. Jozue's father is an eternal optimist and displays an incredible love for live and optimism even as he and little Jozue are being deported to the concentration camp just before the arrival and liberation of the allies. His mother shows no less courage and love as she voluntarily steps on to the "death train" heading for the same camp as her husband and son. The film has a bitter sweet ending, but is an incredible production and a must see. If we feed this kind of productions to our children, there will be fewer drifters and fewer dropouts as this makes one think deeply about life and love and enduring values.
There are copies of the movie in English, but it's poorly dubbed. Frankly the Italian version with subtitles is the way to see this movie! Benigni delivers masterful performance and his expressions in Italian are probably impossible to duplicate via dubbing. It's a gem! Customer Rating: Summary: Excelent movie, Comment: After requesting the movie we thought that could take over 10 days, it only took 4 days. The movie is great, we really enjoyed.
