Life is beautiful is a charming movie by Roberto Benini about a father-son relationship during the time of holocaust in WW-2 Italy....Outstanding Performance by Roberto benini(although he still didnt deserve the best actor oscar).....and his kid....the second half obviously is more charming then the first....reminds you of movies like Schindlers List and to some extent To be or not to be.......Watch it..(if possible try and watch the original italian version rather than the dubbed english version..it will make more sense then).....
