Life is Beautiful blog.

For starters, the father - son relationship is brought into the movie. Like in the book Night. Another thing that is similar is how the father and son traveled in the indecent conditions you can ever imagine. Some differences are that the book tells they were in the ghetto. While the movie the father and son were caught. By The gestapo invading their house.

Another similarity is the fact that both sons of the movie lost their father to the camp. But the difference is that Elie lost his father because he became tired and to weak to continue to survive. He eventually came to stop and laid on the ground, to rest. While in the movie Life is Beautiful, the father died from protecting his son. Also he died because he try reuniting with his wife. But couldn't do it. He was caught, and shot.


Between the book and the movie, there point of view is completely different. In Night, the point of view is from the child, Elie. It's really bias to his opinions, thoughts, and experience in the holocaust. While in the movie Life is Beautiful, the point of view is a combination of 1st & 2nd point of views. In the first half, it's the father’s point of view. However, towards the middle, the father focuses on the child. In the movie they use humorous effects to interact with the audience. Also to use them as a hook, to get them to focus into the characters more. It’s also serious, but it has some bits of humor in the movie. While in the book Night, it's a very formal and serious tone throughout the book.


In the movie, there are many ways of showing how life is beautiful, one of them is falling in love. The movie really demonstrates that in the beginning, Guido chased after the love of his life constantly and was trying to impress her in many interesting and humorous ways. Another thing that showed how life is beautiful was family. Guido protected his child at any cost. He invented a game to prevent him from finding out the terrible truth. He also thought him to hide and blend in with the others. He also tried to connect with his wife and reunite them together with their child in the end.
