    pretty good in my opinion. My favorite actor in the movie would probably be Roberto Benigni. I just love how sweet and caring he is to Giosue. He just wants to protect his son from getting hurt and helping him stay away from any harm or danger. Nicoletta Braschi that plays Dora.

    Roberto Benigni’s Life Is Beautiful, is a film that is set in a concentration camp and combines comedy with the seriousness of the extermination of the Jews in Nazi Germany. Benigni’s task in making this film was significant, by taking a tremendous risk, making a “comedy about the Holocaust.” And the fact that he pulled it off so well, despite the expected controversy it has aroused in some quarters, is downright miraculous. Benigni initially accesses the emotions of his audience through simple comedy

The main woman role, Dora, was played by Nicoletta Draschi who came from a rich family. Nicoletta played a strong woman who would go to great lengths for her family.
