G!VOICE Recommend:
“In life, it doesn’t matter what obstacle you run into, be optimistic, and make it a crazy game! Only the ones who believe life is beautiful becomes the winner in the end.
If you’re fed up with the ‘emptiness’ of Hollywood, then you should prepare a spare evening to enjoy this movie. The deep thoughts brewing in the air after you finish watching the movie… and that each time you re-watch it, the magic is still there…
In this film, Roberto Benigni adopted black humor to map out the historical backdrop of racial discrimination, which became the hurdles for love and family relationship. In the concentration camp full of blood and despair, everything could turn into a positive and rewarding ‘game’. The tank exchanges for a bloody outcome. In the film, we could find different perspectives of thinking which is why this film is still relevant and fascinating!”
