La Vita é Bella: my favourite movie

In this opportunity I have to be injust because I have to choose one film between a lot of movies that like me. However, is not the first time I am faced with a difficult decision.

Really, I like too much Forest Gump or ‘Cidade de Deus’, but if I have to choose I prefer ‘La Vita é Bella’. Really, I don´t understand enough the reason of this. However, I think this film liked me because impacted too much when I watched it, at 10 years old approximately. Also, I saw this movie other times.

In this film I could see a dramatic situation, because the movie is set in World War II. In shortly, an Italian family is deported to a concentration camp because they are Jews. Under these conditions, Guido (the main character) tries to save his family and especially his son Joshua. Guido invents a game to Joshua so that he can take care and be saved without fear. Joshua is entertained with the game and gets out alive from the concentration camp, with his mother Dora. However, the end is not so happy: Guido is killed by the Nazi guards while trying to escape.

In any case, the end of the movie left very good lessons for living happier in difficult times.

It is my favourite movie!
