Life Is Beautiful (La Vita è bella)
Life is Beautiful: I think the title of this film says it all. Roberto Benigni won his first American Oscar for the film, in which he starred, directed, and wrote; quite a repertoire for the foreign actor. The film is set against the backdrop of a pre-conquered Italy in the late 1930's and early 40's. Life, at that time, was truly beautiful for Roberto's character as he captures the heart of a debutante school teacher for whom he falls madly in love. They are eventually wed and bear a child, just as Italy is on the cusp of being taken over by Hitler's Nazis. The family is soon forced to relocate to a concentration camp.

Although some of the subject matter happens to be rather dark, Benigni managed to keep the film light and humorous and somehow forces you to laugh. He told the touching tale with historical accuracy that makes the movie viewer feel like a primary witness to a time not-so-long-ago.

This may sound cliché, but "you'll laugh, you'll cry!" Sorry, I had to say it. Life is Beautiful will have you at the edge of your seat fighting back the tears. It celebrates love, love between soul mates, and the love between a parent and their child. It celebrates the survival of innocence during a time that was ravaged by a horrific war. This movie has it all. It is well worth the watch.
