Life Is Beautiful
So far I have only seen the first half of the movie, and honestly I am a bit confused. The humor in the movie, although it is deliberate seems to take away from the plot, which seems more serious. The humor is childish am seems more fitting for a Saturday morning cartoon then a movie dealing with Fascist Italy at the verge of World War II. The version of the movie that I watched is dubbed over in English. The voices are done is horrible fake Italian accents that make it hard to take anyone seriously. It seems as if the movie could have a truly heartwarming love story set along with the drama of the war- but the voices and the humor ruins the mood of the movie for me. I also feel as if the filming of the movie is weak. I have yet to see any breath taking shots- but I am only half through the movie so maybe something impressive is up ahead.

I was a bit confused when I first saw this movie as well because I hadn't really known any thing about it. His character takes some getting used to but as you said in class there were key moments that really made him human and not as over the top.
About Guido, it was sometimes hard to believe that his life was that good. Everything that he wanted happened for him, which is even strange in real life. But I guess that that is why we watch movies, to be able to live life how we would want; this is only possible through the big screen sometimes.
