Italy's Roberto Benigni's 'Life Is Beautiful' Wins Best Foreign Language Film at the Oscars ►► ua-cam.com/users/shorts5jjk4bx4Bd0
hello
I like
This guy should have won an oscar for his acceptance speech
Bro so true!
I mean he did win Best Actor as well! 😂
His name is ROBERTOOOO
Sono italiano e questo è uno dei più corrotti servi del sistema
Che schifo.
@@federicogentili5827 perché?
The audience is so excited -- and understandably so -- but Benigni's wife's expression is really calm. She's probably thinking, "This behavior is just any other day at our house" lol.
He's crazy, but also a genius.
He's the guy who knows all the Divine Comedy by heart.
THIS is how you accept an Oscar.
Getting to hug Sophia wasn't so bad either, I'm sure... BONUS!
But if everybody did it it would get boring
Here, here. This was as genuine as it gets.
Al Amendolare i'll drink to that. greatest oscar acceptence of all time. honorable mention goes to robin williams winning for good will hunting. that was hilarious and amazing as well.
Al Amendolare I'd sent a native american to pick it for me
when you got so big balls and you go out there and quote Dante during your Oscar speech...
He has the entire Inferno memorized. He's a literary genius.
DrAldobaglio heaven inferno and purgatory
lupash he knows all the divina commedia. Perfectly. You should check out how he says it, I'm sure you can find videos online, it's pure and beautiful. He is an artist and a genius :)
Lo so, lo so. In realtà non sono un grande fan di Benigni, anzi! Però le ultime parole di questo discorso, con la citazione inclusa, sono piuttosto toccanti e comunque citare Dante di fronte a Hollywood è un grandissimo simbolo. :D
It was William Blake
Most normal Italian reaction to recieving an award.
I’ve legit never seen a moment where one single person was so unanimously loved by absolutely everyone at the oscars quite like this. What a genuinely infectiously awesome soul ❤️
Except the dude with glasses 🤓 rolling his eyes, but wgaf 😄
"they gave their lives so we can say life is beautiful" damn you ninjas cutting onions..
This seems like such a powerful moment, like in the climax of a film. Not to mention a standing ovation! He felt like the king with standing upon them all! So optimistic! Such a lovable guy!
Still the best Oscards speech of all time.
When i see or just hear Benigni, i believe in human being again 💕
"Roberto!"
"Roberto!"
"ROBERTOOO!"
Absolutely epic.
🎉❤❤❤❤❤ the great moment❤
no se puede negar que son itailanos jaja

as an Italian: this is the most italian thing ever.
As a foreigner I was thinking the same LOL

I don’t watch oscars, but rarely do some acceptance speeches of beloved creators and in every single video from different year I see Merck too and get surprised lol

The audience didn't understand the message
@@lucamalvicini2190 it's obvious. What do they know about poverty?
@@Mr.Tin_88 Yes, but you can say that more credibly if you have some millions in your bank account, like Benigni indeed
No poor would make the apology of poverty actually
"They gave me the biggest gift... poverty"
That line is pure gold.
I think it is because you learn a lot from poverty, many things about life that you cannot learn if you're a rich-born guy.
Humility...a Great gift...most people don't get it, that poverty, can be a great school, a great university...
He meant that they had nothing but his parents gave him everything like humility,experience,appriciation,gratitude, love.

I cried during that moment.
Sophia che urla "Roberto" mi emoziona come il rigore di Grosso nel 2006
Beh in un certo senso hanno lo stesso significato, qui l’Italia (Benigni e Sophia Loren) sono stati protagonisti della vittoria di un Oscar, il premio più importante nel mondo del cinema MONDIALE, e Grosso con tutta l’Italia hanno vinto il MONDIALE che è l’avvenimento sportivo più importante nel mondo del calcio, questo fa capire quanto possiamo essere GRANDI se vogliamo! 🇮🇹♥️
Paragone perfetto , ma qua scende anche la lacrimuccia
Robberto* ;)
Come i maneskin che vincono l'eurovision
I don't understand a single word of your comment, but when Sophia Loren shouted "Roberto" and waved the paper, I had tears in my eyes. I imagine, you said the same.
Da italiana, è la scena più emozionante che abbia mai visto. Vedere un'emozione cosi forte negli occhi, nei gesti e nella voce di Sophia che con amore ed orgoglio premia un suo connazionale ed amico mi ha veramente toccata
Quoto tutto 🙂
Io da brasiliana, mi emoziona tantissimo questa scena. Ogni tanto mi tocca rivederla. È bellissima e piu che meritato questo oscar. Il film piu bello e emozionante che io abbia mai visto
Che poi la Loren, da che parlava un perfetto inglese, quando annuncia Benigni, pronuncia il suo nome col suo accento campano.....
"Robbbertooo"..
Veramente emozionante
Saluti dalla Grecia. Mi sono sentito gioia e un entusiasmo incredibile dentro a mia anima ugualmente. Epico momento davvero travolgente!
Bellissimo momento ma la cosa più curiosa che mi sono sempre chiesto è come abbia fatto a stare in piedi su quelle poltrone e addirittura passare da una all'altra

Il discorso di ringraziamento più bello nella storia degli Oscars. Dall'euforia, all'umiltà di quell'inchino, passando per l'inglese maccheronico fino all'apoteosi della citazione dantesca per dedicare il premio alla moglie...è un tripudio di italianità! Non si era mai visto! E non credo si rivedrà! La battuta sui genitori e la povertà è di un lirismo pazzesco. Il primo attore, non di lingua inglese, a vincere poi l'oscar per la migliore interpretazione ( la prima in assoluto fu la Magnani e poi la Loren!). Questo perché noi italiani, se vogliamo, quando c'è talento, sappiamo essere universali e arrivare a tutti.
Valerio Vinòd Silverii Ed essere i più geniali di tutti caro Fratello d'Italia.
+Nina Bella esatto!!!

Pure happiness and joy. So great to see.
that's how we, italians, see life. It's just a pity that in all the stereothypes about us, there isn't the wat that we look at life.
"they gave their lives so we can say life is beautiful." i know english isnt his first language but regardless that was an amazing line.

The most amazing thing about this win is that this was a very low budget film, that Roberto practically financed the whole movie by himself and that most of the people appearing in the movie are his real-life personal friends and neighbors, including his real-life wife Nicoletta Braschi who played the female lead.
And I mean, winning an Oscar with Nicoletta as the female lead is a fucking big achievement

The poet that said "love moves the sun and other stars" was Dante Alighieri. Benigni Knows all the Divina Commedia by heart and usually recites it and explains it in shows. A great man of culture but still so humble.
Beningni: *quoting an italian poet (Dante) in english, plus quoting an english poet (Blake) in english*
Y'all : "his English is so bad"
BENIGNI NOT BENINGNI
At first I thought it was bad. But actually he spoke really well and fast.

Siamo italiani, è come se due amici si fossero incontrati a caso sul palco dell’academy dopo tanto tempo. Ma è tutto così meraviglioso: un’eccellenza italiana come Sophia che consegna il più ambito premio cinematografico a un’altra eccellenza italiana che è Roberto, e insieme festeggiano come se avesse vinto la loro squadra del cuore, celebrando l’Italia e l’arte del cinema italiano “cazzeggiando” allegramente dimenticandosi per un momento di essere sul palco degli Oscar. Che momento.
It's sad to see some of the critic reviews for this film, calling it completely inappropriate and nauseating through its mixing of comedy and war drama. My interpretation of it was that it shows a man putting his own fears aside to try and stay strong for his family. It uses the extreme end of terror to show that the love for family has no limits and even something as terrifying as the Holocaust won't diminish his love.
Whoever said that didn't understand the movie at all
+WeAreTheInsurgents Man...that movie is amazing!! What he did for his son in the movie was incredible, smart and brave! And this guy, I have no words to describe him...we can see that he put his heart in this movie. The Oscar and his exalted happiness were just the consequence for that work!!!
Exactly! The film also shows that Jews knew what was happening, and it is incredibly brave of a father to do what Guido did. He didn't go out without a fight and lived for his family until the very end. Most of the humor part was at the beginning anyway so I really don't see much of a problem.
+WeAreTheInsurgents I bet those dumbasses are the same critics who give positive reviews to 50 shades of grey.
YS Kim These are snippets of some of the reviews for Life is Beautiful; written (I assume) just after the film's release:
"In this climate, turning even a small corner of this century's central horror into feel-good popular entertainment is abhorrent." - Time
"The point, I think, is the sheer callous inappropriateness of comedy existing within the physical reality of the camps -- even the imagined reality of a movie." - Salon.com
"Benigni's movie made me want to throw up." - Slate
"The indifference of the proceedings and the hero's slapstick behavior to the everyday realities of the camps borders on the nauseating." - Chicago Reader
I am italian. For me it's impossible not to cry when Sophia says "Robbberto" and when Roberto Benigni full of happiness hugs Sophia. This is Italy
I remember crying when he won. The movie is just beautiful. Seeing him jumping in joy like a little boy and the music playing in the back. Priceless.
Sofia Loren is still a goddess.

Poverty is biggest gift
Also quotes William Blake and then Dante

And then said thank to people who gaved their life as for we can say Life is Beautiful
In couple of minutes he gave us best Oscar speech ever, with the realesr feelings and most clever, kind,honest and loveable words
Maestro Roberto grazie
Exactly! People always remember him jumping on the chairs, and while the endless energy is part of him, too, his wisdom sometimes gets overlooked. He is able to look at life (and death) and take all the right lessons from it, and then he uses his art and his words to pass them on.

I pray everyday to have the joy of visiting florence and rome again!!!!....we greeks adore italians
fay Kathrin and i never really understood why!
the strange thing is that i should.. i'm italian,since i was born here in Milano, but half my family is greek, and i lived in larissa and salonicco 50% of my time untill i was 7-8 years old, and i never understood 100% why greek people, realizing that i was priorly italian, were allways so glad to me, saying things like " us and italians, one face and one race"
Thank you!
I'm not even Italian! Yet I'm proud of it. Hahaha (Since I love Italy and all)
we.. then...thank you so much : )
Spielberg participated and supported this great moment. He is also a person who can actively deal or play with a situation. With his heart. That's why he's such a great director.

In the back! You can see Robin Williams waiting for the Roberto's love declaration, with true happiness.
I'm Italian, I love Roberto, but I love everyone like him, who is so open to feel love! Thank you Robin!
Oddio è vero!
Lollonz yes!! I see Robin!!
Robin and Benigni remained in contact and became acquainted to a point that Robin once lent him one of his private planes, from what I read. These two could've done a movie together. Honestly, Robin is sorely missed. His demise will never feel right to me especially given that he died on my 23th birthday and am a suicide attempt survivor.
Pure souls recognize each other
@@moisemensah8233 so you were just born when Benigni won the Oscar…
Love the way Sophia says: "Roberto!" when announcing the winner with the awesome Neapolitan accent, which I also have since I'm from Naples as well. In moments like this one I feel proud and overwhelmed to be Italian.
A true milestone for the Italian Cinema and Italy being represented abroad.
Ben fatto, Roberto! :)
P.S. That background music though
Vylkeer non ha l'accento napoletano, forse anche perchè è di roma xD
for english people: she doesn't have any Neapolitan accent, she's from Rome xD
Miran Baricic Ti giuro dopo tutta una vita ho appena scoperto che è effettivamente nata a Roma, ma difatti c'era qualcosa che non mi tornava. Anche se non è proprio di Napoli, ha lavorato e vissuto per molti anni a Napoli con il grande Vittorio De Sica, tanto da acquisire un chiaro accento Napoletano inconfondibile e da ritenersi lei stessa, Napoletana. C'è la citazione proprio su Wikipedia: it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sophia_Loren Poi è cresciuta a Pozzuoli e la madre era di Napoli. Diciamo che è una Napoletana nata a Roma :P
Vylkeer a me non sembra napoletano l'accento, ma io non la ha seguo molto, quindi non la ho ascoltata tanto da capire che accento avesse in modo preciso, così a orecchio mi sembrava più di roma che di napoli; probabilmente avrà un accento un po' mescolato, comunque se dici così mi fido
Miran Baricic No fidati, essendo anche io di Napoli, lo si riconosce subito ;) Poi avendo vissuto moltissimo a Napoli, anche più che a Roma, è totalmente possibile.
The speech stars from 1:01
Thank you!…Sophia… I live it here at the Oscars (?)
but I want to you I want to be rocked by the waves of your beauty, come here.
Thank you, this is a moment of joy, and I want to kiss everybody because you are the major of the joy, and he who kisses the joy as it flies lives in eternity sunrise, say the poet. And this is wonderful to be here, wonderful I feel like, now really, to dive in this ocean of grazie above all your generosity, this is too much, your generosity is, uh, how do you say when the rain, the hailstorm, it's a hailstorm of kindness, of gratitude for you.
And really I would like to thank everybody that did the movie, because without them I couldn't fly with this movie. Everybody who did…the producer, the screenwriter Cerami, Elda Ferri, Gianluigi Braschi, Nicola Piovani, Vittorio Cecchi Gori. Harvey Weinstein of Miramax people, thank you very much for what you did. And also I would like to thank my parents in Vergaio, in a little village in Italy. They gave me their biggest gift “the poverty” (laughs) and I want to thank them for the lesson of
my life. Really, but thank you, Mamma and Babbo. Thank you! And thank you for your love. Because if I am here it's because people love the movie. So it's always a question of love.
I would like to dedicate this prize to those, because the subject of the movie, those who are not here. They gave their life in order we can say, "Life is beautiful." And I would like to also say, a kiss to Giorgio Cantarini, Chao Giorgio! the little boy. And because we are talking the love, Dante said: L'amore che muove il sole e le altre stelle Love will move the sun and the other stars. Love is a divinity, and sometimes if you have faith, like all the divinities it can appear. That's why I want to dedicate this prize to Nicoletta Braschi. Thank you!
Karla Vega ciao * :)
(?) = I leave here the oscar, but I want you!
[I leave the oscar here, I want you]
One of the most heartfelt Oscar messages ever-I guess that is why they did not cut him with the music-it was just flowing from his heart!!!
God damn, woman...
How many times did you rewind this video?
The translation of Dante is "Love who moves the Sun and the other stars"
Aand it's ciao*(hi in italian) and not chao
That's all
watching this always makes me so happy. best oscar win ever by far.
This is the correct transcription of his speech (0:51):
"Oh, grazie! Grazie! Oh! Thank you! Sophia: I leave here the Oscar but I want you! I want to be rocked by the waves of your beauty! Come here!
Thank you, thank you! This is a moment of joy, and I want to kiss everybody because you are the image of the joy. And "he who kisses the joy as it flies, lives in eternity's sunrise", that said the poet [William Blake quote]. And it is wonderful to be here, wonderful. I feel like - now, really - to dive in this ocean of gratitud... of generosity! This is too much! Your generosity is, uh... how do you say when the rain?... The... The hailstorm! It's a hailstorm of kindness, of gratitude for you.
And really I would like to thank everybody that did the movie, because without them I couldn't fly with this movie. Everybody who did… the producer, the screenwriter Cerami, Elda Ferri, Gianluigi Braschi, Nicola Piovani, Vittorio Cecchi Gori, Harvey Weinstein, Miramax's people: thank you very much for what you did. And also I would like to thank my parents in Vergaio, in a little village in Italy. They gave me the biggest gift: the poverty! And I want to thank them for the rest of my life. Really, but thank you mamma e babbo [mom and daddy]. Thank you!
And thank you for your love. Because if I am here it's because people loved the movie. So it's always a question of love. I would like to dedicate this prize to those - because the subject of the movie - those who are not here. They gave their life in order we can say "life is beautiful".
And I would like to also say... a kiss to Giorgio Cantarini. Ciao Giorgio! The little boy.
And because we are talking the love, Dante said: "l'amor che muove il sole e le altre stelle", "love who moves the sun and the other stars". Love is a divinity, and sometimes, if you have faith, like all the divinities, he can appear.
That's why I want to dedicate this prize to Nicoletta Braschi [Benigni's wife]. Thank you!"
bluesfun thank you for the full speech :) and captions of the quote
Ho visto questo video qualcosa come 15 volte di seguito.... la prima parte mi fa commuovere "and the Oscar goes to.... ROBERTOOO" la gioia di Sofia Loren per la vincita di un italiano è contagiosa e commovente! Fantastica la reazione di Benigni che sale sulle poltrone... solo lui poteva avere spontaneamente un'idea così geniale. Poi lui che salta i gradini e l'abbraccio: bellissimo! il discorso con la pronuncia italianizzata è stupendo a dir poco e poi vabbè.... l'ultima parte.... Una grande dichiarazione d'amore con citazione di Dante annessa. Più di così!!❤
I could hear this speech another thousand times, I will always get excited like the first time. Roberto is a person born once in a million. thank you for giving us your light.
Its incredible how this guy is natural, its like he played himself in the movie, i believe he would do the same thing for his own son if they happened to be in the same situation. Amazing man.
Yes, it's just how he is. Such a bubbly person :)
I met him last week here in Rome when he was shopping in the piazza by my house for some fruit... What a kind, simple, and gentle man!!! Not like how he is in the movies, but still so sweet and willing to get a photo with me... Of course I was starstruck and babbling about how much I love him and his movies...
Roberto Benigni is a little bit crazy, but also a genius
Grande Roberto! L'Italia è orgogliosa di te 😊
You're great Roberto! Italy is proud of you
