When people look at two extremely different stories such as Night and Life is Beautiful, they would not expect there to be many similarities. However, these two devastating tales are more alike than suspected. Both Night and Life is Beautiful may be two accounts of the holocaust, but that does not mean that they bring the same thing to the table. They both may include a somewhat similar father-son relationship, yet they still aren’t that same. Night, a tragic memoir of Eliezer Wiesel, and Life is Beautiful, a humorous and still somewhat depressing movie of Guido and his family, have numerous similarities as well as drastic differences between them.
Benigni portrays the theme of love through hard times in the film Life is beautiful by using a range of cinematic techniques such as lighting, non-diegetic music and camera shots.

During the time of the Holocaust in 1941, a friend is coming to warn a young boy by the name of Elie Wiesel that human rights violations are occurring all over Europe lead by a man named Adolf Hitler. Adolf Hitler's goal was to keep the Aryan race alive and kill all others deemed not fit. There were many warning signs to the Jewish population that trouble was near. Many chose not to listen, or to ignore help from others, but in the end, this choice leads to the loss of things tangible and intangible.
Each character expresses this theme in his or own unique, tragic way through interactions with Nazism and the exploration of the Fatherland concept.

As every character grapples with what it means to be a part of the effort to reestablish the Fatherland, we see a spectrum of positions ranging from outright rejection to fervent adoration of the tribal identity. Each member of the family occupies a different space on the pole, and their position on the spectrum defines their needs and desires within the story.
