 LIfe is Beautiful Summary! The setting of this movie is in Italy, it is during World War II (1938-1945). At the beginning of the movie, a man named Guido Orefice has just moved to a city in Italy. He suddenly falls in love with a teacher named Dora and in the first half of the movie, Guido manages to make Dora like him. Unfortunately, Dora was engaged, but she decides to escape with Guido and later on, they have a son named Joshua. Some years later, at Joshua’s birthday, the Nazis take Guido, Joshua, and Guido's uncle, Eliseo, to a concentration camp because they were Jews. Dora, who was Italian, was also taken to the concentration camp because she asked for it, she didn't want to be separated from her family. At the camp, the men, women, and seniors were separated, so Dora wasn't able to be with her family. The Nazis killed all the seniors and children, or all the people who couldn’t work at the camps. Joshua wasn’t killed with all the other kids because he refused to take a bath and that’s what saved him. All the time that Guido, Joshua, and Dora were at the concentration camp, Guido kept telling Joshua that they were in a game and that they had to win 1000 points because if they got them before everyone else, they would win the game and Joshua would get a real tank for himself. All the movie is about how Guido is trying to hide the cruel reality from his son and how he is preventing him from being killed. This is a love story in which a dad sacrifices himself for his son and his wife. It is really sad movie which gives you a good understanding of how the people who lived in the concentration camps lived and gives you lots of hidden details of historical events.
