Great film (and music too)
The film was called "a Chaplinesque WWII fable". I'd stick with that description, making clear that it is nowhere near the style of The Great Dictator (1940). The final result is surprisingly good and because of its heartbreaking and patriotically inspirational nature, it is not ...( read more)
"Once upon a time..." the father began explaining the happenings of war to his kid.
No me gustan las peliculas que narran mentiras sobre la WWII. Esa propaganda es pura manipulacion. Ademas que no me gustan las apologias de las victimas. NO es sano... principessa.
As the background (the base of a movie) is under war, a movie already contains sadness and emptiness, so people who watch the movie can get more emotional feelings. In this movie, is it really necessary to tell us the way he makes people happy on this background? I can't find the...( read more)
I hardly ever watch sad movies like this one but my friends said that this was one of the happiest holocaust movies out there. They were not kidding. This is an excellant film! It may be sad at some parts but overall you will really enjoy it. First of all I was really surprised t...( read more)
An honest portrayal of a father trying to protect his son through pretense. It is such an honest and unflinching portrayal of survival mixed in with melodrama and comedy; with a remarkable performance and direction by Roberto Benigni.
The film has so much spirit, that it never le...( read more)
I do remember my brother keep talking about this movie when he got home from Uni.
and never thought this will be on my list..and expect some tears when you watch
*(seen this movie `bout 5 years ago).
This is a horrifying film, but it's also full of life, love, beauty, and humor. I loved it.
This is a masterpiece that stands out in all of the hundreds of war movies ever made. Who would ever think of trying humour? It gave me goose bumps in every part of my body. So much love, so much strength, so much humanity in a time so inhumane- it's breathtaking.
Sangat menyentuh, dan kontras dengan kehidupan yang sesungguhnya. tapi cukup memberi nuansa baru dalam pengekspresian suasana. Roberto Benigni berhasil menjadi actor dalam karakternya.
sad and beautiful. I cryed like a little girl on the end. The acting was really, really good. Again, sacrificing. God, look at me!
I've not seen such a moving, powerful, inspiring and touching film for some time. I can't stop crying at the end of the movie.
Giorgio Cantarini is not just cute, he is a real child talent. I respect him very much. According to imdb.com, he has only appeared in two motion pictur...( read more)
This is one of the most beautiful and touching films ever made. It takes true talent to combine both great comedy and terrible tragedy. Roberto Benigni is brilliant as Guido and as the film?s director. I loved how he accepted his award for best film at the Oscars, it makes me lau...( read more)
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 l...( read more)
This was so moving, a fantastic movie, everybody should watch this. The world is so empty of love that when you see this movie you wonder where's the love nowadays that we don't find it like in "La Vita è bella". What person would do what this father did for his kid, to not let h...( read more)
Some people say there's nothing I can do , some others say what is done is done but some people protect the ones who they care for,no matter how hard it is ,because the only thing they use is love!
It's a wonderful confluence of mixed emotions, an audacious, heartbreaking essay in shocking contradictions. Yet La Vita è bella is anything but disrespectful. This ingenious, uplifting story of how an Italian waiter shields his son from the most unthinkable horrors of concentrat...( read more)
Música excelente, al igual que la direcicón y las actuaciones... para llorar con gusto
La Vita è Bella is a very touching movie. This father's love, creative mind and boldness made it possible to hide the terrible truth from his little boy, who didn?t even realised he was in the worst place in the world. It was all a game in which the winner would get a tank.
This has got to be one of the most amazing films I have ever seen. It had humor, romance, drama, and tragedy. If you have not seen this movie, then you really have no idea how beautiful life really is. Roberto Benigni is unbelievably fantastic (fantastic enough to win the Oscar f...( read more)
This film is beautiful. Sweet tale of love and family in the face of the nastiest of evils.
beatiful, heartbraking, happy and sad at the same time, a really emotional film.
An extraordinary and wonderful fable that celebrates the human spirit. Winner of 3 Oscars for Best Foreign Film,Best Actor:Roberto Benigni,and Best Score:Nicola Piovani. La Vita E Bella is a breathtaking masterpiece of beauty and power,an inspired comedy-drama that combines slap...( read more)
Life Is Beautiful (Italian: La vita è bella) is a 1997 Italian language film which tells the story of a Jewish Italian, Guido Orefice (played by Roberto Benigni, who also directed and co-wrote the film), who must employ his fertile imagination to help his son survive their intern...( read more)
es increible, una persona puede cambiar su entorno cuando deja de ser egoista y busca ayudar siempre a los demas... esos son los q dejan una buena huella.
I've never really been a fan of slapstick comedy, so with that being said I didn't enjoy the first half of the film as much as the second, which was really powerful. Guido was so brave to protect to his son and pretend like everything was all right, while trying to survive in the...( read more)
