Set against the stark reality of World War II, Guido and Ferruccio travel from the country to the city in order to get jobs but Guido actually hopes to open a bookstore. This film won the Oscar not only for Best Foreign Film, but Nicola Piovani won for the Best Original Dramatic Score and Robert Benigni won the Best Actor Award. Nicoletta Braschi casted as Guido’s wife Dora, Giorgio Cantarini as Giosue, Giustino Durano as Uncle Eliseo made it as if they were living the roles, and also other actors/actresses include: Sergio Bini Bustric as Ferruccio, Marissa Paredes as Dora’s mother and Horst Buchholz as Doctor Lessing. This film showcased an excellent portrayal of Guido by Robert Benigni, as a husband and as a father which made it ‘moving’ and inspiring. Benigni’s acting is terrific and believable. It is about how far a father will go to love and protect his family from the horror of the Nazis. Robert Benigni’s touching but tragic film “Life is Beautiful” released on 20 th of December, 1997 in Italy is not exactly about the horrors of the Holocaust, instead, it briefly explores those elements, but never to the point where they can hit any of that ultimate tragedy. It issues not in laughter, but in still smiles, which lie far deeper.” – Thomas Carlyle. A quote that best describes the jolliness that Guido shown in spite of misfortune he encountered. “True humor springs not more from the head than from the heart.
The first half is chocolate and the other half is wasabi since it seems to be two-in-one film because of its comedic and dramatic content. Have you ever wondered what a film would look and taste like if they were food? I think Robert Benigni’s sentimental fable would be a double-flavored donut.
