Life Is Beautiful (La Vita รจ Bella)
Genre: Comedy / War / Romance
“An unforgettable fable that proves love, family and imagination conquer all.” goes the tagline of the movie and rightly so! There is so much in the movie; comedy, romance, Drama, war; it’s a treat for the whole family. Life is beautiful is not the usual War movie we might have seen.
The first part of the movie is funny and we would really had some good laughs. Even have tried to maintain the tempo through out the movie. Even if the sequence is sad, it is portrayed in a lighter vein.
The comedy in the movie is what makes it special. Have you ever seen a War movie which is a comedy as well? There were some comic references to Schopenhauer (he was a favorite writer of Hitler) and about the tag: “Jews and dogs are not allowed”.
The kid, Joshua as he was named is cute little boy and his role was perfect and did a resoonably good job as well. His mother Dora or princess (Nicoletta Braschi) as his husband Guido Orefice (Roberto Benigni) calls is also cute. Both the Kid and her mother is adorable and loving.
This is an Italian movie, and I downloaded this movie, and it had English subtitles and was English dubbed as well. Never matter the language, this movie was really good and I might watch this over and over again, of it was not dubbed in English.
Final word:
Life Is Beautiful is one of the best foreign films I have seen. I Have never seen a movie which is based on the World War 2 backdrop and is a comedy. Even thought the ending is sad, the film shows in lighter spirit. In the end you might shed a tear or two.
This movie is the best movie in Terms of War and comedy genre for me. Have you ever seen a War movie which is a comedy as well? I would recommend to buy the DVD and watch it over with your Girlfriends or family.
10/10 ; It’s on my all time best movie, 2nd spot!

Heat
Genre: Action / Crime
This movie got the best cast and they come face to face as well! Al pacino (Cop) and Robert De Niro (robber) star in this beauty and they come face to face for only two time in the movie. First time they meet, they talk their preoccupation and inability to have a personal life. At the end they just have that. The second time they come face each other is at the end of the movie and one of the die and yet they don’t like what they did. Both De niro and Pacino did a good job. Al Pacino shed tears at the end of the movie and he was amazing. The two sequences are well connected.
This movie has the best shoot-out, it’s not the one which we will see in the usual type with macho men shooting each other…it had a small hot
A thrilling finale
The best part of the movie is when De niro comes out of a hotel (after murdering) and just when he wanted to lead a good life, Pacino comes, De Niro leaves the women he wanted to live with and gives him a chase to the LA airport..where a good thriller awaits us.. Has a emotional finish as well.
Final word:
Heat is one of the best cop and robber movie I have seen. It’s a 171 minutes epic and worth watch every second of it. Being a Pacino and De Niro fan I can’t be more than happy.
9.5/10
