The warmest World War II movie commemorates the 75th anniversary of the victory of the anti-fascist war.
When it comes to movies about World War II, Life is Beautiful is undoubtedly the most special one. Guido, the leading actor, appeared as a joke, which even made people unable to believe that this was a movie about World War II. It is not bloody, cruel or violent. Those Nazi tortures were not shown by cameras, but were taken by his father Guido with a few jokes.
In order to protect his son’s childlike innocence, the father made up a 1000-point game in a concentration camp like purgatory. "Don’t cry, don’t look for mom, don’t clamor for snacks" are three rules of the game formulated by my father, and they are also the survival rules that my son Joshua needs to abide by in the concentration camp. This game is a gentle lie about the birth of the tragic world, and it is also commented by the audience that "if lies can be so beautiful, I would rather live in them".
From 1941 to 1945, it was a Jewish purgatory on earth. Nazi Germany committed genocide against nearly 6 million Jews, accounting for two-thirds of the total number of Jews in Europe at that time, including nearly 1.5 million children. As a Jewish director, roberto benigni presents such a cruel history in the film A Beautiful Life in a calm and even humorous way.
The white steed that Guido rode when he broke into the engagement party of "Princess" Dora was painted dazzling green by the Nazis. Little Joshua saw the sign "Jews and dogs are not allowed" hanging in front of the store, so Guido comforted him and said, "Tomorrow our bookstore will also hang the sign" No spiders and visigoths "… … The core of comedy is tragedy, and Guido uses a casual joke to make the audience remember the cruelty of war more. The year 2020 is also the 75th anniversary of the victory of the world anti-fascist war. The re-release of A Beautiful Life also makes us cherish the peaceful times in front of us.
The saddest comedy movie, life is always beautiful anyway.
The combination of war and comedy, two seemingly contradictory themes, has made this "great comedy" remembered by film history. Director Benigni used his special way to hide the cruelty of war in various details of the film, and shocked the audience in front of the screen in a casual way.
Guido, the hero, appeared because the car was out of control and wanted everyone to dodge, but he was mistaken for greeting everyone with Nazi gestures. No sooner had he arrived at his uncle’s house than he saw his uncle being pushed to the ground by radical Nazis. All the plots at the beginning of the film suggest that they are in the era of Nazi upsurge.
In the film, there is a German doctor who loves guessing puzzles, and he and Guido also became attached to each other because of puzzles. "The more things you have, the less you can see them — — Darkness "; "If anything mentions me, I will disappear — — Silence. " These two puzzles may be the best portrayal of the war. When Guido saw the doctor in the concentration camp, he pinned all his hopes of escaping from the misery on him, but the result was that the doctor was just crazy because of the mystery, and only lost was given to Guido.
When the son saw the sign "Jews and dogs are not allowed" in the street, the conversation with his father was also a classic paragraph of the film. Father Guido told Joshua, "Everyone has something he hates. You hate spiders, and I hate Visigoths. Our bookstore will hang the sign "No spiders and visigoths allowed" tomorrow. Such a painful history was thus resolved by roberto benigni in a humorous way. At the same time, it also indicates that the war has quietly arrived.
At the end of the film, when his son Joshua came out of the iron box and saw the tank, he excitedly shouted "We won!" . Yes, my father didn’t lie to him. They won the prize of this 1000-point game — — A real tank. Although the game is fake, the victory is real. The victory of the father and son also symbolizes the victory of the anti-fascist war and the victory of the people all over the world.
