The Italian movie “Life is Beautiful” has a sense of humor and sorrow. It shows how life can be somewhat imbalanced yet it can still be beautiful especially when you are with the people you love. The actors gave out their potential but the most outstanding was Roberto Benigni. A watcher will not end the movie without smiling a bit and perhaps a heartfelt laugh. The Guido himself, Roberto Benigni, was also the director and co-writer of the film;which is a possible reason for a good portrayal of his character and to his interpretation to the flow of the story. The rest of the actors remained as their role in the story throughout the film plainly they stayed the same. Nevertheless, the story was alright, making you climb a hill of delight then drop you off a cliff from its sudden sad moments.
The whole film was actuallyGiosué’s (Joshua’s) narration of his father’s doings. An Italian ,

According to history, the Jews were seriously not treated well at their sites and only 14% survived over 6 million of the Jews were killed horrible situation. (Stadtler, 2007) The script although was one of the fun elements it was also a reason that limited the story’s development. Such events were clear that a reason why it was mentioned because it will be unfolded later in the movie. (e.g. Joshua not liking to take a bath, later on it became a reason for him not to be included with the other kids in the gas chamber) Benigni did an exceptional performance; However it did not balance with the other
In the book “I Had Lived A Thousand Years” by Livia Bitton-Jackson talks about Jews being tortured by the Germans. The Germans hate the Jews because they blame the Jews for losing World War 1. Ellie and her family were sent to concentration camps where they face their nightmares and are separated by the Germans. They were suffering, but were afraid to run away.
Not only were the Jews who were not fit to work thrown into the gas chambers or shot, those that were kept alive were worked without any regards to their comfort or rights. Essentially, the Jews weren 't treated as humans due to their faith. This creates a problem in the Jew’s concept of God, a being supposedly all good and all powerful. Such a being could not have ignored the Jews when they were being persecuted due to their belief in Him. The God that the Jews envisioned would have provided help for these Jews
Unlike that, in Life is Beautiful, Guido had more faith than ever in God and himself. Guido took so many risks to ensure both his wife and son survived. For instance, when Guido saw the speaker with no one around he took that chance to talk outloud for everyone to hear him. His goal was that his wife would hear him and have faith in him, herself, and God to survive. To take this risk, Guido had to have faith in God that he would not get in trouble, and that everything would work out, and it did.
Another example from before this is when they are on the train and Mrs. Schachter won’t be quiet, they turn on one of their own and beat her. The tone is overall is gloomy and hopeless. Life is Beautiful takes a different approach. It shows kindness and comedy where most would find none.
The Holocaust was many years full of torture to innocent people. Dehumanization, neglect and the ovens were not the right solution to Hitler's plan. The people who lived through these harsh years are scarred for life. Hope filled their minds while they all prayed to God to leave Auschwitz some day. The time went further and every day felt longer.
This played a large role in the dehumanization role because by taking away the beliefs of the Jews, which is a big part of their identity, they were reduced to shells of the people they
Without the fear of being afraid of the camp at first arrival or the fear of the Jew not eating because they know they will be killed, there wouldn’t be much hope. This proves the point on why fear overpowers people and make them not do what they would normally due since there life is at risk. This truly shows the bad of the holocaust. Due to all the fear no one could stand up to
The Nazis did this because they discriminate and hate the Jews. “German authorities established camps to handle the masses of people arrested as alleged subversives.” (www.ushmm.org) Germany blamed the Jews for their loss of World War I. “Concentration camps held two purposes, these purposes were to demoralize and dehumanize the prisoners.” (www.owlspace-ccm.rice.edu) The Nazis tortured them and made them break on the inside.
The Holocaust was entitled as the worst act of genocide in history. Emotionally the Nazi 's tortured the Jews for years in concentration camps deprived them of their named and identity. Although there are many themes represented in the holocaust art and literature, struggle to maintain faith is present in the passage from Elie Wiesel 's Night, Judith dazzios "A day in the life of the Warsaw ghetto "and Alexander Kimels "The action in the ghetto of rohatyn" "Silence in the Jews Ghetto" It was a very bad time from the start for the Jews. They were brutally punished by the Nazi 's for no apparent reason.
Hitler was a horrible person for the things he did to the Jews and it shouldn’t be forgotten. Then the entire camp, block after block, filed past the hanged boy and stared at his extinguished eyes, the tongue hanging from his gaping mouth. (page 62 and 63) This is crazy Hitler made young innocent teens and older men stare at the young teen being hanged. Then they had to go back to work like it wasn’t that big of a deal and just acted like nothing really happened.
“The world breaks everyone and afterward, many are strong at the broken places” --Ernest Hemingway Even after being destroyed, people can and will come back better and stronger. In Elie Wiesel’s novel Night, he experiences this through a real story of his own horrific ordeal in the Holocaust. His father along with many friends and just ordinary people die in front of him, changing Wiesel forever. Survivors of this atrocious event suffer beating, injuries, and disease, but they still live.
They had two options go to the camp or be killed. The Twilight zone teleplay, “eye of the beholder” connects to the Holocaust because
This was such a tragic time in history and we should all be thankful that our world isn 't like this. The Concentration Camps were made because Hitler hated the jews and wanted to kill all and they were kind of brainwashing them to tell them it is a wonderful place to live. When they were making the camps the Nazis would go around just shooting people for no reason. So Hitler and the Nazis captured the majority of the Jews and put them into these camps saying they should be here and that they deserve to died and it is all their fault.
Staged in London this year, a new version of Calderon De La Barca 's play Life is a Dream, retells it from the point of view of its main female character. The website for Rosaura proclaims her as "one of the strongest characters in the history of theatre", (REF), giving the impression that Calderon, despite his strong absolutist and catholic views, believed in some equality of the sexes. After all, in the original play, when Rosaura bursts onto the stage, dressed like a man, swearing and climbing down a mountain side, she is signalling to the audience that this is a female character breaking down all the restrictions placed on her gender in 17th Century Spain. Conversely, by the play 's end, this feisty female is submitting meekly to marriage,
the fact that he hasn’t been near Daisy since then makes us think that maybe he was truly a third- rate Italia, Roman fortune hunter ( as Mrs Costello describes him). However the fact that we appears genuinely saddened by her death “Giovanelli was very pale... At last he said, "She was the most beautiful young lady I ever saw, and the most amiable"; and then he added in a moment, "and she was the most
