Critique
This movie is a great movie that you should watch it. It'll tell you life truly is beautiful. “Life is beautiful” is a film of two distinct halves.To be honest, I don't know whether this is a comedy or upset story. The film intends the powers of imagination,innocence,and love in the most harrowing of circumstances. At the beginning of the film,it was like a movie with happy ending but it actually not. The background of this movie mainly points to the focus of the war. The last scene of this movie really touches to me that Giosue met back with his mother. In the end,Giosue realized how his father sacrificed for his family. Overall,this film is well-worth seeing film and I do enjoy this film very much.
