Its a great story that touches on the travesty and the tragedy of the holocaust, as Italian jews were not spared this fate although many were harbored by good Italians who could not go along with Hitler's madness in this respect. And in this respect perhaps his son at the end has a better view of the world than is justified however fact is that he is being lied to by a man who thinks he is being a better father this way. Such characters are always trying for as much real honesty as the situation will allow however they have learned a defensive coping mechanism to telling it like it is. Yet there is a spirit that continues in Benigni's character as a man who'd like to stay sane honestly enough that he will conjure up a version of events to keep his audience with him and in good humour. This made it the most watched Italian film on Italian TV.

This is a movie with a lot of potential to teach.

This movie is called 'La Vita e bella/Life is beautiful' in the combined Italian/English version and that is how I recommend you purchase it.

The film became the highest grossing foreign language film in the U.S. (A similar work-THE DAY THE CLOWN CRIED, a Jerry Lewis film about a comedian in a concentration camp-turned out to be a disaster two decades earlier.) Although LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL did provoke some controversy, many people found the film to be a poignant, tragicomic story that profoundly reaffirmed the humanity of concentration camp victims. Many people worried that the film would be as offensive as plopping a cartoon character in Auschwitz. For years the box-office champ in Italy and the country's most beloved slapstick comic, the Chaplinesque Benigni took a huge risk with LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL. Refusing to give up hope, Guido tries to protect his son's innocence by pretending that their imprisonment is just an elaborate game, with the grand prize being a tank. His life, however, is turned upside down a few years later when he, Dora, and their young son, GiosuГ© (Giorgio Cantarini), are sent to a Nazi concentration camp.

Conjuring keys and hats out of thin air, Guido (Roberto Benigni), a clever Jewish-Italian waiter, successfully courts Dora (Nicoletta Braschi), a beautiful local woman, in Fascist pre-WWII Italy.
