One of the best movies ever.
This is one of those movies that have a lasting effect on you. After watching it, I found that it has less to do with the Holocaust and more to do with the human feelings and the beautiful relationship of a father and his son. The holocaust provides the ultimate context, that brings and highlights the story and adds yet another deep dimension to the movie. No such piece of art has ever before combined laughter and tears of sadness in me before and that is the miracle of the movie. The realism of the movie is not its strong point, but then again it is not supposed to be; this helps in bringing the audiences to a state of mind away from reality, focusing on the feelings generated by forgetting about all external events and developments of the war. Despite that, the movie does not fail to point out an element of the nazi psychology demonstrated by the doctor who was obsessed with riddles. This portrayed the nazi ‘state of mind’ (if ever such an expression existed) as a sick mentally disturbed state. Life is really beautiful as you watch Guido’s relentless efforts to make a lovely exciting experience of the concentration camp to his son. You get exhausted just watching him going through his painful day and yet you smile as he speaks to his son and makes him laugh. One can go on forever describing the creativity of this movie, but one will not be able to capture all its beauty in writing.

Begnigni è Genio (Begnigni’s a Genius)
On seeing this film, my first thought (after wiping the tears from my eyes) was “My god, he pulled it off.” I can think of only one other director who’s dealt with the Holocaust in a comedic film and done it with any depth, and his name was Chaplin — and “The Great Dictator” was made before the horrors of the Final Solution were known to the world. Chaplin didn’t have to deal with that baggage. Begnigni did, and did so brilliantly.

The film begins as an earthy comedy as only the Italians can do and ends as a dark tragedy with a hopeful note — and the transition from one to the other is seamless. In fact, the latter half of the film would not work without all the meticulous set-ups of the first half. That we get to meet Begnigni’s character, see his world and hopes and dreams, makes it all only more poignant as they are threatened with destruction. On top of this, the first half of the film is reminiscent of “Amaracord” (one of my favorite films) in appearance — possibly a result of it being set in the same period, possibly intentional. (Begnigni pulls off at least one homage to “The Bicycle Thief,” among other films, during the first act and a half.)

Anyway… I really debated with myself before seeing the film, thinking, “Hm. A comedy… about the Holocaust. Do I want to deal with that tonight?” I went, I saw, and the film conquered me. Fellini made me suspect that the Italians might be film geniuses… “La Vita è Bella” made me realize they are film gods…

See it. Now.
