The Theme Of Love In Life Is Beautiful, By Roberto Benigni

Another significant technique used (particularly for Life is Beautiful) is humour. Robert Benigni made clever use of humour in contrast to the reality of The Holocaust as demonstrated by Guido in a comical scene where Guido ‘rescues’ Dora from her wedding party on his uncle’s horse that had been vandalised by fascists. When

     ?Life Is Beautiful? shows one family?s experience in the concentration camp. Benigni makes the audience fall in love with the main character in the beginning by letting them see the way his life was and how truly happy he was. He shows him falling in love with a Christian woman and having an upbeat, curious little boy. By doing this, the audience experiences the sadness that the characters felt in the movie when they are separated. The audience feels sad when his Christian wife is separated from her family even though she wasn?t supposed to be at the camp in the first place. They also feel fear when his son has to hide every day from the Jews so that he won?t be taken to the furnace. At the end of the movie, when

The movie, Life is Beautiful, demonstrates another relationship between a father and his son. This duo is also put through the horrors of the concentration camps. Being outgoing

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.

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.

There are not many movies that have been produced that consider the nature of beauty and inner self, while still having an emotive storyline, the film Cyrano de Bergerac is one of them. The tangled relationships of Roxane, Cyrano and Christian, along with many minor characters of the film, explore what is most important and what truly prevails in love. Even though at the end of the film you are left with a melancholy feeling brought up by the fact that the main characters quite literally lose everything, you still find that it has given the viewer a message. A message saying that you will not get what you want if you don’t try or if you stay quiet, even if you are rejected at least you tried.

Another technique that is used is changing light with reference to the plot structure. The use of lighting has allowed the audience to see the obvious contrast between the beginning when Szpilman was having a happy life, and after the Nazi came and occupied so that how Polish Jews are getting dehumanised. For instance, the light was extremely bright at the beginning of the film, Szpilman was playing the piano at the radio station and having a meal with the family. When the Nazi

Since this was a modern-day play, they woe modern day clothing. Cindy dressed up as a school girl in uniform, and her mother dressed like working women. These costumes are typical for this type of play. In terms of lighting, this play had many spotlights. The spotlights were only positioned towards the actors. There were spotlights at the top corner of the stage, back of the audience, and at the back f the audience shining on the stage. The actors were properly lit and their faces were clear. The lighting for the play was not as meaningful and did not make it better to understand the moral of the story or the details of the play. The lights changes were slow. when transitioning from scene to the next, the lights dimmed then shut off. When the characters were talking, the lights shined o the entire stage the entire time. therefore, emphasis was not given to the
