la vita è bella

yes im talkin bout the master piece from Roberto Benigni...life has not been the same since i watched this movie...absolutely marvellous..a movie more to be felt than watched(few of those who think im exaggerating please watch it once more)...making good movies is indeed an art and it becomes quite challenging if your script demands a set up of 1939(though the movie would ve been good enough if it were to depict today's life but life is best glorified under the shades of death..and what else could better signify the ugly dance of death than the second world war..the worst catastrophe ever)..

so here are few thoughts from the movie which might compel you to watch it once more..

  • Sunflower bow to sun..if they are too bowed down, mean they are dead..You are serving, not a servant.Serving is a supreme art.God is the first servant.God serves man but he is not a servant.
  • Our race is supreme : an unmarked scene of the movie but quite moving never the less.the students being given lectures upon racism when they can hardly diffrenciate between colours(not the colour of skin mind you)
  • SCHOPENHAUER : with will power we can do anything(our Guido didn't understood schopenhauer but he certainly did any and eveything with his willpower)
  • The Obssesed Doctor : questioned the waiter"bigger it is, Less you SEE it" and our hero replied "DARKNESS"...well this was just to show that he was very witty but in the end when the doctor meets him in the c(h)ell... instead of thinking to help Guedo he is just sharing riddles with him.this was the height of inhumanity.
  • Life -a game of 1000 points : yes it all begins when Guido filters the harsh realities of the world before they could reach his son Joshua...and if somehow they did, he made him believe that these were tricks played by opponents so that he might loose some points in the game they were playing(this fits very well in our life too where many of our anti are planning against us)..life would have been easier to play than to live..after all we have a motive when we are playing a game..to WIN

What if life really were a game..score 1000 points first and take home a tank,a real tank(or what ever u wish to take)..Guido was a larger than life character who extracted positives from any situation..or was it the love of his son that made him wink at death itself...i knew he would die in the end..but how could a man like him die..why couldn't he fool death..why didn't he use Schopenhauer law on death(I wanna live,i wanna live)..or he could ve cried Oh! virgin mary give me life and life he was awarded..but no such thing happened..Guedo died..sacrificed his life..and the game did come to an end..Joshua stood first right in front of the REAL TANK he had won.
