Life Is Beautiful

Some connections and comparisons that can be made are some in the poem I read and the movie. One connection I can make is about the little boy all lonely in the garden in the poem I read. I can connect this boy to the movie because in the movie the little boy had to stay alone all day to hide. He was lonely too. Another connection I can make is in my poem it said, when the flower blossom blooms, the boy will not be in the garden anymore. I thought of this in the movie like the little boy as the blossom, and when the little boy grows up his dad wont be there anymore (because they shot him, sadly.)

The difference between our readings and the movie is that the movie at least had humor in it, but it was still serious. In the movie the dad character is funny a lot. He tries to turn the concentration camp into a game for the little boy. When he is asked to "translate" for the German man, he does not at all accurately translate but he instead says the rules of his made up game which was funny to me. Also the way he prays and gets what he wanted right away was funny. The princess thought it was really happening, but it was just extreme coincidences which was funny. The movie also had some serious parts though, like when the dad got killed. That was sad.

One part in the film that showed life is beautiful is that at the end when the son reunited with the mom. It was a happy moment that came out of something tragic and horrific. I liked this part because it really showed that even in tough times that you have to stay hopeful because miracles do happen. Another part in the film that showed life is beautiful is when the dad spoke to the mom indirectly over the loudspeaker. This was beautiful because it really showed the dad's courage and bravery speaking over the speaker. Even though he could've got caught it really shows how much he sacrificed for other people. One last part in the film that showed life is beautiful is that he took his time to make sure his son was okay. This takes real bravery and sacrifice and again shows how much of a hero the dad was.
