Life is Beautiful

 In my opinion the phrase life is beautiful is shown through the movie by in the beginning the man is very happy and is enjoy his life. Another way the phrase life is beautiful is shown is in the middle of the movie the man falls in love with the girl and they have a son. One piece of film evidence is when the man goes to the party where the girl is at and he knows he has fallen in love with the girl. When they leave and go back to the guys house there is a transition were it shows that they had a kid. This piece of evidence shows how having a kid can make someone's life even better and show how beautiful it is. Another way the phrase life is beautiful is shown is towards the end of the movie the guy thinks about how good his life was and that he took it for granted so he realized how much of a good life he had. The piece of film evidence shows how if someone has a good life they don't pay attention to it and when they lose that type of life style it affects them and they wish they had it back. So when the man is imported to the concentration camp he remembers the good life he had and he thought about how good it was to be free and he really saw how his life was beautiful.



 The connections that are similar between the movie and our reading is in the movie it shows how life was for people before the holocaust. In the readings it talks about how people used to live before the holocaust. Another similarity is the individuals that were in the movie were Jewish people. The main character of this movie was Jewish he lived in the camps. The other individuals that were involved in the movie were the Germans. Ideas that were similar were the Germans wanted to kill all the Jewish people or people that did meet there standards. All these things are both in the reading and in the movie.

 The differences between the movie and the readings are in the readings it went into more detail about what was going on outside the concentration camps. In the movie it didn't really give detail about the war it focused almost the whole movie on what was happening inside the concentration camps. Another difference is the movie didn't show how much power Hitler had over people and the media. In the readings it shows and talks about how much power Hitler had over people and the things he could do. These are the things that are different between the movie and the readings.

 The mood of this movie is in the beginning the movie is very happy and it shows a happy place. The mood in the middle of the movie is also happy because he falls in love with the girl and the girl falls in love with him as well. Towards the end of the movie the mood is very sad and serious and everything is mostly sad. When the man goes to the camp and gets evaluated the tone there is serious. The overall tone of this movie is sort of sad but it has some positivity in it. The positivity is shown when there's humor and laughter during the beginning of the film and even when the film gets serious there is still some laughter. So in my opinion the movies mood is mostly happy but towards the end the movie gets serious and sad but still has some humor in it.
