Just wait to find life is beautiful
|
Before I watched the movie "Life is beatuiful", I have already heard about the bunches of awards that it won and the high priase from my high school English teacher. But I have little desire to watch it because it is not my usually flavor. I am a fan of Disney. I love the imaginative, colorful, romantic ones which could bring me the move and enlightenment by concise and comprehensive lines. However, I heard that "Life is beautiful" was telling the story in Nazis Concentration Camp. I just guessed that it must be depressing or bloody and that it might to show life is beautiful through the optimism and perceverence of the people in the Concentration Camp. But I found myself almost totally wrong.
To be frank, the movie was not always attractive to me through the beginning to the end. I watched it on Xunlei Kankan. The whole moive was divded into five sections. However, in the first three section, I can hardly find the traces that it was telling the story about Concentration Camp. the movie is a whimsical, romantic comedy and often slapstick. The leading actor was just a so ordinary guy, not handsome, not high, not clever or wisdom, even a little idiocy to me. I just began to doubt whether I was watching that classical moive. But I still waited. The only thing that I have to say is that I was attracted by his brave and optimism which was actually the hint to the later development of the movie. And the leading actor, Guido became charismatic in my eyes when he romances Dora, whom he steals—at her engagement—from her rude and loud fiancé.
When it came to the fourth section, I can see some traces that I was watching the right movie.
I was shocked by the little half of the movie. I never thought Brave could be presented in such a way. Guido and his four-year-old son Joshua lived in the hell-like Concentration Camp, they just walking on the edge of death, like the auts living beside the feet of people. But Guido never show a hint of fear. He always keep his big smile because he had to protect his son from the physical, what is more important, mental hurt. He could just reguard the live in the Concentration Camp as a big game. He was so clever and brave to announce the game rules which was totally different from the rules that the Nazi made and was required to be translated to the camped Juish. He was so clever
to take his son to enjoy the feast that was prepared for the German children. He was so clever and romantic to play melody that was the secret signal between his wife and him in the heavily-guarded camp.
when—in the chaos caused by the American advance—he tells his son to stay in a sweatbox until everybody has left, this being the final test before the tank is his. After trying to find Dora, Guido is caught, taken away and shot by a Nazi guard, but not before making his son laugh one last time by imitating the Nazi guard as if the two of them are marching around the camp together. Joshua manages to survive and thinks he has won the game when an American tank arrives to liberate the camp. He is reunited with his mother, not knowing that his father has died. Years later, he realizes the sacrifice his father made for him and also, that it was for that sacrifice that he is still alive today.
When I finished this movie, I was so quite, moved, shocked.
When the life is actually not beautiful, the clever, brave ones could make their best to make the life beautiful, waiting
unitl the life actually becomes beautiful.
