Life is Beautiful is a wonderful, moving, TRUE story of one's families experience in WWII Europe and eventually the horrors of the Holocaust. I never believed I would be able to find humor in a movie depicting the Nazi war machine and its attempt to elimate European Jewry from the face of the earth. What Benigni does is simply amazing. He makes everyone laugh at his antics while feeling incredibly sad only a few moments later. This journey of emotions is something you rarely find in films these days. I applaud Benigni et al and suggest that everyone buy this movie and watch it over and over again.
