Life is beautiful

In the movie life is beautiful there is some connections to the readings we have done like how the Germans came and took all the Jews and the people who were against Hitler. Some of the connections that they have made in the movie to our readings is when the nazis took over all of the Jews business. Also how they had the camps in our readings and in the movie life is beautiful and another thing is how the nazis wrote on the Jews property they wrote hateful things on there businesses and animals. But also they published things in the news papers about the Jews hopping that they would just leave one more connection that was in the movie and in the readings were that Hitler hated anyone without Blonde hair or blue eyes he wanted the nation all the same. If you didn't meet his standard you were a half breed and were not good enough. That's how many people got placed in the concentration camps.

In the movie life is beautiful the father and the son were taken to the concentration camp because they were Jewish and the father could not tell his 6 year old son what was going to happen to them so he made up a game and told his son that they were very lucky to be there. It was his sons birthday when they got taken so he had to make it seem happy for him. His moods were happy compared to every other person who was also in the camps. Once one of the Germans came in to talk to all of the prisoners in the camp the german couldn't speak Hebrew . So the father said he could translate but he didn't know German was saying so he was making everyone laugh because he was explaining the game to everyone instead of what the german was saying. Once that happened then the son really believed what the father was saying is true the father was grave for doing that because he could of died. Even though they had the father working like a slave he never gave up on his story that he was going to win the game and the tank that his son wanted. The father tried to persevered through the fact that he could die at anytime and the fact that he was in the camps.


Life is beautiful is shown as a life of a simple family who gets turned for the worse when the nazis stop by the store that the father owns. Later on the next day the father and the son get put on the train and the mother sees them so she has the nazis stop the train so that she can get on too. So there whole family was on there way to the concentration camp  the son was with the father and the mother was separated from them but they still managed to talk to each other. One day the father went to the speaker were they would say the announcements so he said if she was there that he loves her and he wants her to know that him and there son was safe. Then another day he played the song that they got married to through the speakers. So she known that they were safe another thing was when the father had to hide his son Joshua because the nazis had all of the children separated. He had to make sure that they couldn't see him then one day they were caught so the son had to go with the nazi children his father told him not to talk to anyone or they will lose the game. One of the fathers friends recognized him so he got his a job as a servant so he was giving everyone food and serving them they were trying to talk but the nazis were starting to catch on. The father was still able to see Joshua while he was working, At the end the father died and the son gets his tank with the mom.
