La Vita E Bella (Life Is Beautiful) is one of the most beautiful foreign movies I've ever seen. It was released in 1998 in the United States It starts out as a comedy based around how Guido (Roberto Benigni) A Jewish waiter, meet's the beautiful Dora (Nicoletta Braschi) a high classed Christian woman in 1940's Italy With his comedic charm they meet in the most outlandish circumstances until she falls in love with him and he takes her away from her businessman fiance. Then they have a son Joshua (Giorgio Cantarini) Soon Guido and Joshua are separated by Dora and they are whisked away to a concentration camp. Guido sacrifices everything to preserve his son's innocence through the remainder of the time they are at the camp. Trying to find ways to hint to Dora they are well throughout their time spent. The movie then becomes very sad as was the Holocaust in it's entirety.The end of the movie there is a very bittersweet happy ending. I would suggest this movie to all my family and friends. It meets everything the heart may desire from laughter, to sadness, to tears of joy. This movie has it all!
I bought it off Amazon here: Life Is Beautiful
