La vita ė Bella is a 1997 Italian romance, drama and comedy film written and directed by Robert Benigni and was adapted from his book. Robert who plays the role of Guido and is the main character of the film, showed an outstanding act. The movie gets even better for he was with her wife, Nicoletta Braschi, who was also her wife in the movie. The film was great because it shows us the positivity of life. It was entitled “Life is Beautiful” because it shows that despite of having difficulties in life, being positive helps us to overcome those difficulties and there will always be a solution if you don’t let negativity enter your life. The most important sequence for me is when a German caught Guido and his son saw him. For his son not to worry, Guido walked in a goofy way to make reassurance that he will be okay not knowing that it will be the last time he would see his son. According to Academy Awards (1998), the movie received numerous awards such as Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film , Academy Award for Best Actor (Roberto Benigni) and Academy Award for Best Original Music Score.This signifies that you will do everything for your family even though it costs your life. The movie is about the human spirit. Guido (Robert Benigni) was a goofy but an open-minded man. He was a Jewish-Italian citizen and working as a waiter in his Uncle Eliseo’s hotel and restaurant. As he arrives in town with his friend’s car, he met a teacher named Dora (Nicoletta Braschi),

Night vs. Life is Beautiful "The only thing that you sometimes have control over is perspective. You don't have control over your situation, but you have a choice about how you view it" (Pine, n.d.). This quote from Chris Pine (n.d.) shows that life is truly what one make of it and how you deal with situation that are presented to you. This is evidently seen through juxtaposing the novel Night (2006) by Elie Wiesel and the film "Life is Beautiful" (2000).

Unlike that, in Life is Beautiful, Guido had more faith than ever in God and himself. Guido took so many risks to ensure both his wife and son survived. For instance, when Guido saw the speaker with no one around he took that chance to talk outloud for everyone to hear him. His goal was that his wife would hear him and have faith in him, herself, and God to survive.

The 2006 British film “The Queen” depicts events that unfolded after the death of Princess Diana in 1997. In the film, the British Royal Family did not react the way the public expected them to.

Set against the backdrop of Naples, the characters in Ferrante’s My Brilliant Friend are immersed in a world of violence, ignorance, and poverty. Under this shadow, Elena and Lila struggle to define the past of their parents from their own future. In fact, it is the weight of despair that allows small moments of joy to become vibrant within the story; as James Wood describes, “deprivation gives details a snatched richness” (Wood 10). The luminosity of moments like when Elena travels to Ischia, when the two girls purchase Little Women, and lighting fireworks on New Years Eve, are integral to the depiction of brilliant friendship between them.
