...During the Holocaust, millions of people died- but that does not tell the full story. The conditions which the prisoners of the concentration camps were forced to live through are inconceivable. Surviving prisoners have since expressed their experiences in different ways. There have also been later generations who have attempted to recapture this tragic time period; however, it is highly unlikely that they have experienced anything like the camps in their lives, which is detrimental in terms of building a believable story. Primo Levi, author and victim of Auschwitz, wrote Survival in Auschwitz to inform others of the horrific events and conditions that he was forced to live through in his journey to survival. Conversely, Roberto Benigni, Italian...

...that still haunts us today. A select few survivors of the Holocaust chose to find amazing ways to cope with the horrors of the Nazis’ concentration camps. Elements of Gerda Weissmann Klein’s All But My Life and Roberto Benigni’s Life is Beautiful explore the importance of finding ways to cope through performance. In All But My Life, Weissmann Klein describes her use of performance to endure the loss of her friends and family in Polish and Czechoslovakian camps. Similarly, Benigni creates the sad yet heartwarming Life is Beautiful, a story weaving together the love and imagination of a father to ensure his son’s survival. Both the novel and the movie prove...

...Films such as Schindler’s List and The Pianist take a serious historical approach to the Holocaust, while films like Life is Beautiful take a different approach to it. It is the combination of romance, comedy, and tragedy that triggered many viewers into criticizing Life is beautiful as being oblivious to the Holocaust’s reality, therefore making it inappropriate. However, A filmmaker is not a historian, and is not responsible for Depicting the holocaust as accurate as possible, the film does in fact present the dichotomy of life before and after the holocaust, without leaving out the fact that thousands of people were murdered and battered in the duration of the holocaust. it is the honest presentation of human relations, the main focus between the love of a father and son and the artistic form presented in the film that make the film appropriate. It’s appropriate because filmamkers who portray the holocaust are not obligated to depict the horrors of the events. Holocaust filmmakers are not necessaraly historians who seek to portray historic events as they actually happen. It IS appropriate because the film presents, the dicotamy of Life before the holocaust and after. It is apporpiate becausebinigni was never oblivious to the holocaust in his film, because there are scenes that actually show the raw heartlessness of the holocaust. “Life is Beautiful” is a movie about the holocaust famous for the perspective the director chose to portray it. The movie isn’t about the...

...something to do on a Saturday night and turn it into a learning experience that will last forever. In the filmmaking world there is always that someone that gets looked over and forgotten and that is the person behind the film known as the director. Directors are brilliant people who jobs are to create a film that people will enjoy while putting a meaning behind it. Roberto Benigni is an amazing director who not only directs his movies but writes and stars in them as well. Benigni has created masterpieces such as Life is Beautiful, Pinocchio and his most recent film The Tiger and the Snow, which have brought him such awards as an Oscar for Life is beautiful. Along with being a director Benigni prides himself on being a family man which is why his wife Nicoletta Braschi plays his love interest in most of his movies. Overall Benigni is a great director who blends comedy and romance in most of his movies. His movies might be a little out there but that’s just who Roberto Benigni is and I can’t wait to see his next film. “The Tiger and The Snow” was produced in 2005, written, directed, and starred in by Roberto Benigini; it was also co-written by Vincenzo Cerami. “The Tiger and The Snow” is a movie that focuses its themes on love, and war. This film had 3 awards won and 4 nominations. It won an award for best foreign romance trailer, best original story, and music. It was nominated...

...“Never shall I forget that night, the first night in camp, that turned my life into one long night seven times sealed.” (34) After reading Elie Wiesel’s account of the Holocaust in his book Night and watching the movie Life is Beautiful, directed by Roberto Benigni, I determined that, the book, Night has the greatest impact on the reader. Based on the mood and tone of the two stories, the amount of details, and the main characters of the stories, I believe that Wiesel’s account of the Holocaust leaves the reader more impacted than Benigni’s story of the same event. In Elie Wiesel’s literary memoir Night, which he wrote in the nineteen-fifties, after his ten years of vowed silence in respect for those who lost their lives in the Holocaust, Wiesel...

...Life is Beautiful/ Night Compare & Contrast Essay During WWII one of the most horrific, crimes of mankind occurred under the leadership of Adolf Hitler. This crime was the Holocaust, which imprisoned many Jewish people in internment camps, and slaughtered over six million. In the book Night by Elie Wiesel and Roberto Benigni’s Life is Beautiful they both convey their message about the holocaust in similar and different ways. In the book and movie they both had a motif of god, and his relationship with man. In the book Wiesel reflects on god in many ways. During the beginning of the book Elie was very religious, he even said “by day I studied Talmud and by night I would run to synagogue and weep over the destruction of the temple” (Wiesel 3). This shows the Wiesel was very religious and did infact believe in God at the beginning of the book, but throughout the book Elie does begin to question God and even...

...2/15/12 Sponenberg Unit Paper #1 One of the many goals of producing a work of art is to generate a response from the ideal audience. Sometimes certain artworks are even based off of history or historical events to stimulate further response. Or they are simply created for the artist’s own desires. Thereby it is art’s responsibility to reality to portray history in an unbiased manner as best as possible. Displaying forms of art that are not truthful toward history or reality can distort one’s belief of a person or an event if the intended audience knows nothing more about the person or the event then what was shown in that particular art form. By not following this, certain events/people are going to be remembered for inaccurate reasons. Surprisingly, not everyone would agree with this idea. There are definitely those who believe that the real world and the...
