The way he protected his son and tried so hard to find his wife was very inspirational. Even though he was being silly most of the time‚ it protected his son’s innocence.

Overall‚ this movie was alright

Life Is Beautiful Reflection Paper I can only imagine the movie “Life is Beautiful” was extreme controversial when is first came out. How could anyone make humor of such a tragic situation? Viewing the movie now days may not be so contentious. My personally believe the director did a great job showing what life meant to Guido and possibly actual people during the Holocaust. At the beginning of the movie‚ I had no idea it was going to be about the Holocaust. While viewing it I had a hard
