Life Is Beautiful Response
Response-"Life is Beautiful" The movie, "Life is Beautiful", was an innovative and realistic film. It demonstrated many serious issues and aspects of life. Prior to viewing the film, I was not looking forward to watching it. I thought it would be very boring and more of a film that adults would enjoy. As soon as the film started, it was enjoyable. It got my attention right away because of the humorous atmosphere that the characters created.

The emotions that I experienced during the film changed periodically. In the beginning, it was humorous because of the plot and script. Then something serious would happen, and my mood would change from happy to sad/angry. It made me angry and amused at the same time when they would talk about the discrimination against the Jews that went on. I was angry as this was unfair, yet the way that it was dealt with was quite humorous. It made the situation seem more comical then serious and sad.

The little boy in the film, Guido's son, moved me so much because he was so young and did not understand what was going on when they went to the concentration camps. It was sad and funny how Guido pretended to his son that it was all a game. The reactions of the little boy to different situations were very moving.

One part in the film that I felt great happiness was at the end, when all hopes were gone of the little boy seeing his mother again, he jumps off the tank and sees his mother sitting on the hill with the other women. This was such a happy scene because it made me feel so good for him and his mother to be together again.

This movie was very realistic as it dealt with the horrors and miserable aspects that people had to go through during this time period. The characters reactions to their problems were similar to those one would have in real life situations. The way they dealt with the events going on around them and the way they responded to situations in their lives that were beyond their control. I think that the setting, etc

    I had always heard of the things that were happening, but I had never truly seen what was being done. When I saw the bodies being pushed by the bulldozer it really hit me how terrible it was and that there was no limit, no stability or safety, no laws or order. These people were being denied so many of the basic needs on Maslow's Hierarchy. It was terrible for those who died, but for the ones who kept on living it was even worse. They had to live right next to their dead loved ones and endure the same treatment they did and they still pushed on! They still refused to give in and persevered through this atrocity. Another scene that really affected me was when the camera was panning over rooms full of hair. It was an awful scene and it showed how the Nazis treated the Jews as something to profit off of and how they saw them as less than human. Again this shows the power of the survivors who kept their humanity despite being treated terribly and…

    This movie is very real and heartbreaking. The portrayal of emotions and character feelings is acted very well. You can identify and relate with each of the characters on a personal level. Growing up in the suburbs of Chicago, the movie portrays a “normal” family and brings insights into the hidden dynamics of the family. The reality is that there is a lot going on in the background of the family and it is dealt with in a lackadaisical manner full of denial and ignorance without proper communication and supports. Social status is very important as indicated by the cocktail parties, involvement in school activities, and the social aspects of Beth and her friends over the issues and problems going on with Conrad. The movie accurately portrays the real details of what goes on behind the facades people put up for the benefit of others.…

    Watching this movie, I found myself laughing, then crying and then laughing and feeling happy. I found myself relating to the characters, most of them in one way or another which was a good feeling. I saw the insecurity in Evelyn, the way that she is so passive and shy. She is very naïve. She is trying to get her husband to pay attention to something other than sports on television. He comes home from work, picks up his dinner that has been set on the table, grabs a beer and then he sits in his chair and ignores her. The stubbornness of Idgie, she is one that does what she wants, when she wants and won’t follow the rules, even if they are in her best interest. The quiet strength of Ruth, she can be the…

    The movie as historically accurate. It shows the struggles and life breaking experiences that the Jews went through. Even though the movie was fiction it gave historical evidence and times frames about the holocaust. Historical accuracy is important especially if the book is going to be used to teach children about the Holocaust. It can affect how important the Holocaust is to people.…

    It’s amazing how different the country was back then. It is a very moving film and it’s difficult not to be moved emotionally by the tragedy and senselessness of it all. It is just as vivid to the all the friends and relatives of the four little girls, as if it happened yesterday. As I stated, the film is very intense and moving because the memories of the people involved are still quite vivid. One scene that stood out to me was when one of the mothers’ stated that she doesn't harbor any hate. She used to but has kind of resigned herself to the fact that that it wouldn’t do any good at this point. Nevertheless, she admits that it’s something that she has to work on daily through her belief in God. Of course, it makes us wonder if we would be able to somehow handle it as well as she has.…

    The genre of this movie is drama. The famous director, Spielberg, did an amazing job to grab the attention of the audience using the sound track. The scenes in the movie clearly portrayed the lives of the slaves during that era. The acting was amazing and the facial expressions of the actors grabbed my attention. The skill of the famous actors, such as Morgan Freeman and Anthony Hopkins, was clearly evident in the movie. I believe that this movie is historically accurate as proved by the text book, scholarly journals, and the class…

    All of the qoutations pretty much tells the same message. But for me Rabbi Barry H Block's qoutation most strongly captures the essense of the film. As i read the qoutation ''hope and laughter can bring light into even the darkest corner'' affect me,it is because our country is in the list of poorest countries in the world. We need to work everyday under the sun just to buy food for our families.One thing that i am proud of being filipino is you can't really tell if we have a problem because we are always smiling. One thing that makes every filipino happy is a karaoke machine,there is no family who doesn't have one. I remember when I was still in the Philippines we sing for forever until we get the 100% score and we even sing until dawn. Thats why were proud of Jessica Sanchez 2nd runner up of American Idol because she get to show other people what filipinos got.Even if people don't have any food or money in there we have our neighbours who shares what they have,that is love and were still smile and laugh even though deep inside were not. I focused more on the word ''laughter'' because it is really the best medicine. This response is more on emotional that intelectual because i experienced it before.…

    The movie really highlighted the importance of mother figures and there importance of child development. There is a huge difference how my country raises children and how other countries raise their children. Every person in the world comes from a mother figure in their lives and will live their own lives. However there is a difference on how we live our lives and how we act when we are raised by that mother figure.…

    There were tons of key moments that impacted me and once that just did not make a big dent. I already listed a few moments that had a negative effect on me. The International Sign Language Theatre Festival towards the end of the film was amazing. I wish I could have gone, there were different acts from around the world, different types of acts, and a great thought. It was interesting to the different types of sign language across the world. It is similar to speaking, for example, certain countries have different type of language and that is the same with signing. Its inspirational characters and messages really made me think deeper into deaf culture. I wanted to learn more about deaf culture and more signing than just American Sign Language. The four many characters all touched my heart in different ways. Robert, the actor, no matter…
