MOVIE REVIEWS 2! LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL

Life is beautiful- movie reviews

 plot

 The story should be chased back to 1939 , before the World War 2. Everything was started in a countryside in Italy. There was a smart boy called Guido, who was always very active and talked entirely. He had a good friend and they always drive their old car around the village. Make fun of everything, like all the boys, they began to be tempted by the girls in that age. As the plot goes, he fell in love with Dora(who is his real wife in the reality) when he tried to open a bookstore. Dora was a teacher and Guido really tried his best to be close to her, in Dora’s mind, it seems like everything is planned by the destiny. And then, they married and had a kid called Giosue, who is a very cute boy. And the true story, had just been started in this moment.

The time was fast forwarded to the period during the World War Two and their son was 5 years old. Unfortunately, they were separated by the Nazis and put into a concentration camp. Although the Nazis didn’t allow the child been taken with, Guido still keep his child in the camp secretly. They even had used their wisdom to use the camp speaker in order to send a message to their wife and mom, let Giosue pretend being a German child in order to let Giosue have a better care by the Germans. The kid were almost found in the German kids but the danger was head off fluently by Guido’s wisdom. When Guido was doing the labor, he hid Giosue in a iron box which can fit Giosue properly called the most safe place in the camp. Guido showed the most powerful side to his son but actually he was really weak after the labor. During that period in the camp, Guido told his son how fierce the chaos are and, hardship and suffering in the country are a game and that the winner will be awarded as a real tank when all the things were over. But once they tried to escape the room to find his wife, he was found by the Nazis. At that time, Giosue was looking at the Nazis holding a gun and aim to his father and Guido was killed. From the tiny iron box. But what the happy ending is that Giosue found his mom when the chaos are over while sitting in a real tank of the U.S army. His goal was reached in the end. But the real tank is the Incarnation of Guido as well as the paternal love from Guido.

  Theme and clue

  I think the theme of the movie is the paternal love from the daddy. He devoted himself to protect his son and gave him the best care and support Giosue to survive in this dangerous environment. I can see the strong desire from the behavior of Guido that how he expect the reunite of the family. He successfully escaped first time but he failed in the second time. I think the clue which throughout the whole story is the real tank. When the Germany soldier spoke to people in the same tiny room. Guido pretended that he knows German but actually doesn’t. He didn’t understand all the things what he was talking about. But he just changed all the instructor’s word into his own words which encouraged others and especially for his son. His son regarded the hope of tank as his goal in the period of the time in the camp and hi did never quit. But It is used to be a joke at first. But as we all see the result of the story. Giosue’s goal came true and the U.S soldier picked him up to the real tank. That moment, the environment is full of peace and happiness.

Feelings

  We all have the paternal love from our father. Some of our father are good at expressing their to you but some of them aren’t. But in my opinion, they all make efforts as much as they can in order to give us a better life. As a foreign student, my father is not beside me. After watching this moving story, l should spend more time to give him a call and tell him I am fine or not. Although it is just a common behavior, we can’t imagine how warm it is for our parents. We never imagine if our parents leave us, why not do more to our parents as much as we possible? That’s the reason we should cherish the paternal love and keep them at the bottom of the heart as the most valuable treasure in our life. I love you my daddy.
