Life Is Beautiful Reflection Paper I can only imagine the movie “Life is Beautiful” was extreme controversial when is first came out. How could anyone make humor of such a tragic situation? Viewing the movie now days may not be so contentious. My personally believe the director did a great job showing what life meant to Guido and possibly actual people during the Holocaust.

I could not find any comedy about the Holocaust, but when the movie was over I understood the true meaning. I feel like the director of the movie wanted to show people keeping a positive attitude can be a very powerful tool. In the movie Guido kept a very positive mental attitude. Guido never let anything discourage him. This allowed his son to believe everything Guido was saying. Since Guido chose to do this, his son survived the time in the concentration camp. Although Guido did not survive, he suffered for the people who were most dear to him, Dora and his son. I feel the death of Guido was a very significant because it would allow his son to truly understand everything his father did for him while at the concentration camp. When his son looks back on the events that happened, his son will realize how amazing he was. Guido loved his son so much he gave his life to protect him. The title “Life is Beautiful” is a great name for the movie. The director stated the movie off in a very happy time. The scenes were very bright. Guido was very happy and he fell in love with Dora. Obviously, Guido was happy and had a positive outlook on life. Once the movie stated to turn evil the scenes stated to become darker and darker. At the concentration camp it was very moist, foggy, and dark. Even in the dark
