Pros: Beautiful Story, Great Cast, Great Acting
Cons: Holocaust movie, Subtitles
The description written above is for a different movie than the Life is Beautiful that I have been privileged to see.
Roberto Benigni's Life is Beautiful is not just a movie about the Holocaust, it is a movie about everyday life.
The story is...

Pros: cast, plot, theme, mood, script, acting, everything
Cons: nothing
This movie, in my view, is the best movie ever made. Roberto Benigni, by himself, makes this movie absolutely amazing. His acting performance made this movie, which follows a family and how they live through concentration camp.
The movie isn't...

Pros: it has a great moral to it
Cons: it has subtitles
What a movie! "Life is Beautiful" will make you laugh, cry, and feel very angry. Roberto Benigni plays an extremely happy man who makes the very best out of every situation...which most anyone would have a difficult time doing when faced...

Pros: story, gags, ideas to impress girlfriends
Cons: gloomy second part, but that's not exactly a con...
I just saw this movie on TV today, and I positively loved it! The truth is I didn't want to watch it when it was shown at the theaters because I thought it would be a "mushy" movie, and in Italian no less! Today I was (once again) proved...

Pros: Great Movie
Cons: None
Just how wonderful Roberto is. In all of his movies- (Johnny Steccino is the only one I remember the name of- but possibly not the spelling) his love interest is always played by his real life wife. He has been known to say that he can't even...

Pros: the powerful message, the slapstick comedy, and the over-the-top acting

Pros: Great story line!
Cons: You need to read fast
is totally tainted by those who are closest to them. That is true in life, and truly shown in this wonderful movie. The way things just fell into place for the father and son, it was so cute!
With a foreign film and subtitles, it is hard for...

Pros: Superb acting, script, funny in the first half, loving, excellent score, un-inhibited direction, BEAUTIFUL!
Cons: none
I went to see this film with mixed feelings. I was sure I was going to like it but a lot of people seamed to be saying that it was a comedy about the holocaust. They could not have been more wrong. Roberto Benigni had made a film which, to me, and many...

Pros: Very loving and funny
Cons: will make you cry!
This movie is absolutly charming! The father's love for the family throughout the movie touched me deeply. Beware this one is a tear jerker! This move takes place in world war two. The family is Jewish and the father is doing everything possible not to...

Pros: great performance by Roberto Benigni
Cons: you need tissues for this one!
I am one of those people that watches the Academy Awards even though I never go to the theatres to see the movies! It does spark some interest though in what I will rent. The movie "Life Is Beautiful" earned several academy awards. Now that...

Pros: Uplifting and Beautiful
Cons: That it had to come to an end
Indeed, Life is Beautiful, or that is definitely how I felt after seeing this movie. I have a select few movies that I would say are by far the best movies I have ever seen. This movie is one of them. Like most I was skeptical to see it. Mainly,...

Pros: characters are well developed, as well as the relationships between the main characters
Cons: movie didn't seem to have a central focus throughout
I'm a 15 year old, and though many of you adults out there think that teens don't learn things, yes, we do. I learned about the holocaust in 7th grade, and was astonished to think something like this could happen in our world. This was a great movie....

Pros: The language and perfectly worded screenplay.
Cons: Fast spoken Italian
This movie was the greatest movie that I have ever seen. The begining is like a Groucho Marx "Dumb and Dumber," but oh, so romantic. The end is an look at the holocaust from the eyes of an innocent child. I have seen it in two versions. The...

by Maja , Dec 25 '99
Pros: mildly entertaining
Cons: inappropriate, horrible movie
This mildly entertaining movie had the potential to be one of the greats, but it was down right inappropriate. The movie was about the Holocaust and a little boy who thought he was playing a game the entire time. I hated this movie and it didn't...

Pros: Wonderful story
Cons: None
Life Is Beautiful is one of the first foreign films I have seen. I walked into the theater, expecting to have to work hard at reading the captions for each image, and I wasn't too thrilled about the prospect of not understanding anything spoken.
