From 1941 to 1945, Nazi Germany carried out genocide actions against nearly 6 million Jews, accounting for two-thirds of the total number of Jews in Europe at that time. The story background of "A Beautiful Life" was set in this period. But unlike anti-war films such as "Hintler's List" and " Blood War Hacksaw Ridge ", this film interprets the cruelty of war from a unique optimistic perspective, which makes people laugh and cry. The first half of the
movie focuses on love. It is relaxed and romantic like a fairy tale of a prince and princess. The Jewish youth played by Roberto Bernini fell in love with the female teacher Dora at first sight. Although there have been many ridiculous twists and turns, in the end Tian Sui people wished that the two would live happily together; in the latter half of the plot, Guido and his son were forcibly sent to a Jewish concentration camp under the fascist regime. Although Dora did not have Jewish ancestry, he walked resolutely and separated from her husband and son in a concentration camp. Life in the
concentration camp is extremely difficult and lonely, but in order to protect his son, so that he can grow up happily, the clever Guido coaxes his son. All this is just a game, and the prize is a big tank. This leaky lie seems to be broken with a prick, but Guido, with his paternal love and extraordinary imagination, succeeded in weaving a beautiful world for his son in the face of the cruel Nazi Holocaust.
The first half of the movie is bright, smooth and light, while the tone of the second half of the movie changes to a strong gloomy and gloomy tone. The sharp contrast between the front and back highlights the anti-war theme of "Life Is Beautiful", owned by Guido and Dora. The happier their lives, the more heartbreaking the carnage that deprived them of happiness. And the beauty of life is even more shining in the dark.
"No one's life is perfect, but every moment of life is beautiful." Some people say that this is a movie that deserves 1,000 points.
