thedarkknight-99999 The first act has the sweetness of disney movies, except it didn't reach the same level of charm of disney movies due to the overly clumsy dialogue, and the fact that the first act is very long. But I didn't mind that, or rather this isn't my main issue which is the second act and most of the third act are way more serious, because this is when the tone of the movie changed to be dark comedy, and that, of course, made the movie inconsistent in tone. Nevertheless, the movie became way more powerful as a dark comedy, and allows Benigni's clever and deft direction, and Oscar-winning performance, to shine even more. This is when the movie tug at my heartstrings, and became very devastating till its end that is as sweet as a disney movie as it is wrenching as a usual holocaust movie. Even the dialogue became more smart and touching. And let's not forget the beautiful cinematography, and Nicola Piovani Oscar-winning score.(8.5/10)

amandefaure For me, this movie is the most beautiful that I have never see. The story is so powerful, we can prove many feelings. First, we can see the life of the main character who is peaceful and enjoy. He would have a job and he is determinated to realised his dream. And this adventure to find a job is the begining of his beautiful love story with Dora. And after their wedding, they have a son. But it is also the begining of the World War II and they are taken in a concentration camp. But Guido, the father explains to his son, Giosuè that the camp is just a complicated game. I think that the most touching in this story is the relation between Guido and Giosuè. The father think just at the serenity of his son. He knows that the situation is desperates but he continues to say that it is nothing. He does abstraction of his feeling and his sadness to be sure that his son doesn't be stressed, and that until the end. When German officer take Guido to kill himself, he continues to act like it was in a game. Actors are exceptionals and we can feel all the sadness of this moment!!!

bunnyx21 In this movie is the power of love for a child from daddy

pardojoan The movie is split in two different movies. The love between a man and a woman. And how a father explain the crude reality to his son like a game.
