Life is Beautiful is an Italian film written by Roberto Benigni and Vincenzo Cerami that shows the relationship between father and son, throughout the tragedies of World War II. This film is nothing less than a cinematic masterpiece. Besides winning three academy awards in 1999 for best actor, best music and best foreign language film, the story is one that touches and resonates with everyone. The content of this film is dark and serious, as most of it is set in a concentration camp, however it never truly feels sad. The stylistic choice to use comedy as a relief, although controversial, was executed perfectly. The humour never took away from the severity and importance of their situation, only put a friendly face to the millions of people
