I recently reviewed it with the Italians and they said that there would be a comedy first.
Since I remembered what the movie was about, at first it wasn't funny to me, and then I completely sobbed..
So many stupid indiscretions, such pain from what happened, and it's not just on the screen...

Recently I looked at it, and let out a tear, so touching, I haven't shown emotions for a long time, for a very long time.

I remember watching and sobbing excitedly. A movie that I definitely won't risk revisiting.

It's a great movie. A poignant, touching, and at the same time terrible story of the fate of one family against the background of terrible world events.

"Life is Beautiful" is just an incredible movie! It combines both laughter and tears, which makes it truly special. The story of a father's love for his son in the most difficult conditions is breathtaking.

The moments when the main character uses his imagination to make the horrors of war more bearable for the boy are simply touching to the core. I watched the movie with a smile on my face and wet eyes at the same time!

It's not just a movie, it's a real reminder of how important family is and how important it is to find joy even in the most difficult times. If you haven't watched it yet, be sure to add it to the list! A real classic that is worth seeing! 🌟❤️
