Life Is Beautiful Response
The movie Life is Beautiful would not be a good film to show for the class. This is because the movie is like a comedy during a time which was anything but funny. Some events in the movie shown are the exact opposite of what would have happened in real life. I would not say this is a wise movie because of the joking nature, some events that would or would not happen, and how the movie hid the real violence.

Another instance that hides the horrors of the camp is when Guido is killed. He disguised himself as a woman to look for his wife. He cant find her after many attempts, and a spotlight finds him.

We know that Guido is killed, but he would most likely have not been walked so far to be killed. He most likely would have been shot on the spot or would have been killed as an example if they weren't in the process of leaving due to the advancing front. This movie again is not wise to show because it mentions death and suffering, but it doesn't show anything actually happening. The movie Life is Beautiful is not wise to show because it doesn't show the true horrors of the Holocaust. The movie has the main character joking around the whole movie and acting in ways which would never happen or would end with different outcomes.
