Life is Beautiful

 I think the movie and what we have been reading and learning about are the same in the way that they're teaching us about the Holocaust and how it has affected the world. The movie just focused on one story of the Holocaust and what happened to their family but in the movie it shows us how the camps were like and how the Nazti army treated the Jews at the camps and even not in the camps like in public places. The readings and stories that we read about mainly focused on what they did to the Jews and what the camps were like, they thoroughly explained the process and how it all started but it didn't tell a story like the movie. Unlike the story from the movie most families when they had gotten separated and ripped apart from eachother they never got to see eachother again and most of them sadly died. I think the movie was a different view of what had occurred in the past but I think it was beautiful the way they put a tragic story in that point of view.

The movie was very unique compared to the videos and readings I've seen before. It demonstrated how just one person changed someone else's perspective of a horrible situation and added a better feelings instead of a somber feeling to the story. I think the movie showed a side of the story that not other video or reading showed. Even though the story itself was depressing it tried to focus on the joyful points and a carried a happy vibe through out the movie. The other Jews that were in the camp were all miserable and down but you would see the dad and his son trying to make the best of their situation. I found it really interesting how everything was very somber and the main characters that were being affected changed that.
