Guido was a very supportive father and man throughout the entire movie. I personally liked him. He was funny and a playful guy.

Overall‚ this movie was alright

Life is a journey! We live‚ we die! We say hello and we say goodbye… but what happens in between? The comparison of life to a journey has become to cliché. One would hear it from parents‚ from teachers and even from preachers‚ but what I’ve leant from this cliché is that despite what anyone believes‚ we cannot deny that life is definitely a journey.

Response-"Life is Beautiful" The movie‚ "Life is Beautiful"‚ was an innovative and realistic film. It demonstrated many serious issues and aspects of life. Prior to viewing the film‚ I was not looking forward to watching it. I thought it would be very boring and more of a film that adults would enjoy. As soon as the film started‚ it was enjoyable.

that intelectual because i experienced it before. Part B The three aspects of the film that illustrate the healing effect of story on human life are the direction‚the funny scenes and the music. The way Roberto Benigni directed the film he is showing that life is not about laughter only.

One funny scene that i love is when Dora is been stung by a wasp and Guido asked
