Life is beautiful...well not really in this case......This is a movie which I found different of all the other World War II movies because if you get any of the other war movies you'll see that its sad from the start instead this one was a comedy and tragedy at the same time, which I found better! Though I still cried at the end :( I found Roberto Benigni a very good and funny actor and I like better the real name of the movie: "La Vita e bella". I liked the way Guido (Roberto) solved all the problems throughout the film in such an intelligent way although he makes you think his dumb but he's actually very smart. I think the child is sososososososo CUTE!! My favourite part of the movie is when they do the fake German translation to make his son think it was all a game and the way he says to his wife, "Buongiorno Principessa!" and also the way he makes sure his wife knows that he's alive.....But if you're a person that cries when they watch sad movies , don't watch it!
