amazing lengths that a father will go to keep the horrors of the Nazi war away from his family. Benigni takes the subject matter seriously as the subtle feeling of risk and danger that lingers over the second half of the film. I don’t feel like the plot needs to be grim and sad in order to get the point across to the audience. Even though there is an aspect of sugarcoating‚ the scenes where the elderly are taken from the group to be led to the “showers”‚ and when Guido and his son come across the
