Life is Beautiful Movie Review

My class and I just finished probably one of the most powerful, realistic movies of all time. Life is Beautiful is a movie based on the Holocaust and takes you through a young Jewish family troubles throughout the Holocaust. The movie starts out with this man named Guido who is Italian and Jewish. Guido is a librarian in Tuscany, and is trying to open his own book shop. While on this dream achievement, Guido meets a woman named Dora who he ends up falling in love with and marrying. Years later all things turn good for Guido, with him finally owning his own bookstore, and the birth of his new son Giosue. However, even though everything is going good for Guido and his family, things end up going in a new direction. One day, Guido and his son get kidnapped by the Nazis, but now his wife because she wasn’t Jewish. Although, Dora realizes that Guido and her son have been kidnaps by the Nazis and insist on going with them to a concentration camp. The next few days, Guido and his wife are hard at work trying not get killed by the Nazis. This movie was interesting because I’ve seen so many pictures of what the Holocaust was like, but to see what actually happened to most families is unbelievable. This movie shows us a clear representation of what happened during the Holocaust, and what people did to survive. I totally recommend this movie because it’s a little sad, but it’s really interesting because it makes you feel like you were there when the Holocaust was happening.
