Examples Of Comedy In Life Is Beautiful

The terrors of the Holocaust are unimaginably destructive as described in the book Night by Elie Wiesel. The story of his experience about the Holocaust is one nightmare of a story to hear, about a trek from one’s hometown to an unknown camp of suffering is a journey of pain that none shall forget. Hope and optimism vanished while denial and disbelief changed focus during Wiesel’s journey through Europe. A passionate relationship gradually formed between the father and the son as the story continued. The book Night genuinely demonstrates how the Holocaust can alter one's spirits and relations.

Life can be very beautiful. In contrast, life for many people during World War 2 was not so beautiful. During this time, the world was at war. Gladly, during all the madness, in 1945 innocent people broke free, and concentration camps were liberated. The film Life is Beautiful, Guido demonstrated the three qualities; Inherent thoughtfulness and emotionality, expressive coherence, and wholeness and unity.

“Never shall I forget the nocturnal silence that deprived me for an eternity of the desire to live”(Wiesel 34). This quote is the very epitome of the terror that the Jews endure during the Holocaust. Wiesel expresses that the horrific nature of what he went through was so severe that it scarred him for life and claimed his will to live. Roberto Benigni’s inspiration for the award winning Life is beautiful includes the fact that his father remained three years in a concentration camp and the story of Holocaust survivor Rubino Romeo Salmonì.

How do comedians use comedy in order to display a universal truth? Comedy lightens the mood and allows the listener to think better about the Universal truths. But just what is a so called universal truth? A Universal truth is a truth that cannot be disputed or argued against, but what is the biggest Universal truth? Death... There is nothing more certain that death, Or is there? When people die we have no idea where they go or if they even exist. In fact death is probably the biggest dispute among humans and by this logic, what is life? If we think like this then all throughout our life we are confused since we are confused about death. so the biggest universal truth is not death but in fact it is confusion. Confusion is an emotion we feel

The Silence of Truths and the Love of Family “Our first act as free men was to throw ourselves onto the provisions. We thought only of that” (Wiesel 119). Victims of the Holocaust dehumanize and a shell of their old selves; nothing matters to them anymore except their basic necessities. From the 1955 autobiography by Elie Wiesel, Night, and the 1997 Italian film under the direction of Roberto Benigni, Life is Beautiful, the real experiences of the Holocaust have a voice from two perspectives. Yet in both Night and Life and Beautiful, Wiesel and Benigni showcase the ideas of family and silence.

Never shall I forget those moments that murdered my God, and my soul and turned my dreams into ashes; for many, the holocaust was a living nightmare, shattering their faith, their dreams and hope (Wiesel 34). It is one of the worse events in history, killing more than millions of people. Many works today depict this gruesome event. Among them are Night and Life is beautiful,  two different works that share the same purpose: ensure that we do not forget the victims. The first is a memoir by Elie Wiesel, a Romanian author and holocaust survivor. The second is a movie by Roberto Benigni, an Italian actor, director and comedian. Although two distinct people produce these works at different times, they share common topics, two of the strongest themes they use are father-son relationships and innocence. Both Night and Life is beautiful  broaden the father-son relations similarly, however, their

A powerful and provocative graphic novel, Maus, generates a Jewish individual’s life of grotesque and horror. With its ability of perception and interpretation, it tackles the main points of the ominous Holocaust and delivers a spooky aura to the absorbed audience. In comparison to Schindler’s List, the graphic novel shines brightly than the pale movie due to its realism and humor that is constantly present throughout the storyline.

The events of made-up stories are often clearly glamorized when being compared to a similar story being told with true events. The depiction of human nature in the fictional story of Roberto Benigni’s Life is Beautiful portrays a way of handling trauma that is desirable and improbable, while the real events of Elie Wiesel’s Night show the true nature of people in a much more realistic manor. In Life is Beautiful, the main characters use nicer and more appealing, while those in Night turn to something more understandable during hard times, the process of preserving the child’s innocence in the film is incredibly dressed up and unrealistic compared to the loss of Elie Wiesel’s humanity in Night, and the depiction of strong family bonds in the film do not
