[carrying his son through the camp]

''You are such a good boy. You sleep now. Dream sweet dreams. Maybe we are both dreaming. Maybe this is all a dream, and in the morning, Mommy will wake us up with milk and cookies. Then, after we eat, I will make love to her four or five times. If I can.''

loved this film to bits because it is just so beautiful and is such an inspiration. It is a film that has a beautiful meaning to life. It is a film that truly teaches us about love family and hope. It is also about commitment with what is best for the ones you love no matter what situation you are in. It made me feel all emotional because Guido, his wife and son were in the Holocaust camps.

“>.< This movie is truly one of the most amazing films I've ever seen. The actors did a fanominal job, I laughed with them, I cried with them, I smiled with them, and I frowned with them. If you're ever feeling like life isn't worth living, or you're going through a tough time, watch this movie, and by the end you'll be saying that life is beautiful.” read more

Unworthy Oscar Winners (10 movies items)

" This was right around the time that Holocaust films cemented their reputation as being an automatic Oscar, and never is that more evident than with this movie. It’s not that Roberto Benigni and Life is Beautiful weren’t good, it’s just disappointing that the Academy wouldn’t take the opportunity to reward a risky, unique performance when it had the chance."
