Review of Life Is Beautiful (1997) by 04Lcorrell — 08 Feb 2019

The 1997 movie Life is Beautiful is about a family being taken away from their home and put into a concentration camp. Although this movie was moving, it would have been better if the movie leads into Eliseo (uncle), Guido (father), Dora (mother), and Joshua (son) going to the concentration camps.

While the movie - as it currently is - showed the experiences of the Holocaust inside the concentration camp, it was not realistic because it did not lead into how the Jews got taken to the concentration camps; it just happened.

It was an exponential movie because it did explain and have the values of the concentration camp once they got there (showing the harsh work), but the beginning wasn’t realistic. For example, in Night, victims were in ghettos and had a little more time to process what was happening.
