La vita è bella

Roberto Benigni's Vita e bella, is in many ways similar to Chaplin's Great Dictator. Both are comic attacks on fascism, but the former's is the more successful. Benigni initially accesses the emotions of his audience through simple comedy, which is a pleasant mix of Keaton and Chaplin. Romance ensues with his real life wife Nicoletta Braschi.

It is the first half where the audience can laugh the loudest and delight at the immense comedy talent of Benigni. Unlike so many films nowadays there is nothing crude or course, his is simple innocent humour, which is all the more effective. The way he ties together little strand in the film to create comedy elements shows a great writing ability, and a mastery of timing when it comes to their execution on screen. Various incidents related to the rise of anti-semitism and fascism in Italy show that there are sinister forces at work which come to the fore in the second segment.

Guido attempts to keep from the boy the horrors of what is going on, and this eventually manifests itself as a game where the aim is to score 100 points, with the winner winning a real tank (which, of course appeals to the young boy). Comic moments are still present, that involving Guido's translation of the rules of the camp is particularly notable, but it becomes somewhat more difficult to laugh when we consider the gravity of what is going on.

This movie will surely make you laugh and cry that make you see life is beautiful in spite of many hardships...

Please see this film, and make up your own mind. It is appealing in so many different ways that I'm sure that you will not be disappointed.

Stories have various story-lines, but what is common for all of them, is that they deal with serious problems of teenagers theses days face such as drugs, prostitution, violence, death, loneliness, love, stalking and many more.

When you read this book, the feeling is... for me is inscrutable. I just cant believe that there are really teenagers facing this kinds of problems. You will think that they are too young and don't deserve this kind of situation that they have, the way they think... its kinda scary. But i guarantee you, this manga is really good, you can find an answer here for your questions.

If you are fond of comedies and easy-reading mangas. I DON`T recommend you read Confidential Confessions! There are many things that will make you ponder over your life, yourselves and over the world you live in. The stories are quite realistic and most of them don`t have the traditional happy ending.

If you plan to read this, PLEASE read the whole story first, in order not to regret that you are gone before seeing the real end!
