Theological Discernment and Cultural Exegesis of the Movie Life Is Beautiful Life Is Beautiful (1998) is unmatchable of the most memorable and original paintings I have ever externalisen. It is non surprising for me, that the exposure sure so many great awards such as the grand prize at Cannes Film feast and three Academy Awards, including Best Foreign Language Film and other(a)s. The central Idea of the movie Is to delve people the understanding that it does not matter how much death, evil, and ugliness happens in the world there is always hope and good.To understand that goodness, truth, and tatty of the relationships and human life finally triumph at the end condescension of evil that Is make by Nazi military. After watching this movie 4 years ago, It unfeignedly did make me think in truth much ab show up life itself. At that time I was very concerned about my future and c arer opportunities, but finally I created that nothing is more(prenominal) important than wonder and close relationships with people I cut. This is the main rea intelligence why after comprehend the name of the movie In the list, I knew It will be my first and the only choice of the movie would Like to write about.The movie Itself portrays us a really re thought process story about a family love and their relationships with from each one other. It is a story of the main character expire, his parole -Joshua and wife Dora not in favour of Nazi troops who were continuously sentencing Jewish people to death only because of their race during the being struggle II. I could say that the dickens main characters of this small family, Guide and Dora, are showing a really strong love to each other that makes them able not only serve each other but also sacrifices for each others sake of good. For me this Is like two movies in one.All this story Is presented Like two efferent lives from beautiful beginning to an unexpected suffering story that make us realize how intimat ely a life can change, in particular when you least expect it. The first part of the movie presents us incredibly beautiful days where the plot takes is to the small village of Italy filled with an inspiring love story from the very first minutes when two super different people saw each other. Guide was as a Jew waiter who came there to his uncle with a dream to open his deliver support store, and suddenly by accident met an engaged Italian girl.Unfortunately, after 5 years living gayly gather, everything falls apart and changes. A breathtaking love story turns into to a horrible exile during the World War II where Jewish people are taken to the intentness camps for work and death. The movie itself is pictured in a very interesting structure. From the very first sight we realize that it should be extremely heartbreaking due to the particular that such hard topic as an exile and death of cleared people Is unquestionably accepted as a very cruel thing to do to the total commun ity. N the contrary, the movie presents exile In a way of game and fun. Guide here is a father who does his best to keep his male child from purpose out the wicked truth about their blank space in the camp. It is his primary goal to keep the news safe, while he Is trying to find out the way how to release his family from the camp and at the same time keeping German troops from finding this out. For his son, Joshua, the camp is presented as a competition where he is supposed to pursue all the given instructions.If he does that, he will get more points and win the main prize tank. I OFF security department of a son. For us it can be an example of Guide commitment to his family in very Christian way, because he is following Gods words from the Bible. He is doing exactly what he calls husbands and fathers to do to take responsibility for their families Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the child ren of ones youth.Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them (Psalm 1273-5) Yes, the movie is talking about the war of good and evil, but for me Guide and his loyalty to his family shows that it also presents us the beauty of human spirit, faithfulness and soul. Guide is like a real Christian serving his family, in the movie itself an uncle Eloise once told Guide that mires serving. Youre not a servant. Serving is a despotic art. God is the first servant. God serves men but hes not a servant to men. Guide in the movie becomes the best example of a servant, no matter that he serves his family in his feature way, he does not become humble, but rather he is perceived as a hero who is doing everything he can to save from harm his family. Guide served both, his son and a wife when he was going to get wind for Dora and in some moments of the movie emending her that both of them are still alive. It is Just as the Son of composition did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many. (Matt. 2028).He is doing this without event thinking he is a servant he is like Jesus who served people for their good, with thinking to get something in return. Guide is not the only one in the movie who shows his love, serves, and sacrifices for his family. His wife, Dora does it as well, as a real Christian. From the very begging to the very end she is doing what she can to show love and committal to her family members. She as a woman from a prominent Italian family would have never had to go to such a horrifying place as a concentration camp.Unfortunately, due to the fact that her husband and son were Jews and had to be exiled, she showed her bravery and dedication. Right after the moment she found out that her Jewish husband and son have been taken by German soldiers, she went to the train station and tried to convince the soldiers that they have made a mistake. Sadly, an officer denied it of being a mistake and insisted her she doesnt b elong there and has to go home. Dora id not do that, she demanded to be put on the train with the other people and be taken to the concentration camp.Despite the fact that she was Italian, came from a very good family, she with no doubts has chosen to identify herself with Jews, the people who have been condemned. She gave up her own life and showed pure love and devotion to her family. Finally, in the end of the movie we are made to realize how beautiful this father-son game really is. Despite its setting in the context of death and cruelty Guide is able to inspire us for faith and believe in good. A father to only serves his son from the very first second there comes harm to him, but also shows his devotion by sacrificing his own life in order to keep both, his wife and son safe.He is doing everything he can to save both of them as a true, loving father and husband would do. Guide offers a life of imagination to his son that is beautiful, even though he is very exhausted and oppre ssed, since he was working hard during the day in the camp. According to Russell B. Ramsey (n. D. ) Guide reflects Jesus words in the Bible, Greater love has no man than this, that he localize down his life for his friends On. 513). He laid down for his family and was very strong psychologically not to joke and fun instead of going to panic.This was a very courageous thing to do, and we can see how strong a man can be in situations where he has to protect his own family. To brotherhood up, the movie is very unique, because of the authors ability to unite both, comedy and tragedy to one movie that is in usual very hard to do. From the funny beginning it shifts to a tough story in a concentration camp while still maintaining elements of fun. Guide gives his son the gift loving and not knowing what is misfortune in reality. He does not mention the real truth about the camp and evil that surrounds them there.
