Everytime I hear 'This is my story, this is the sacrifice my father made, this was his gift to me" I feel the tears forming in my eyes.
Yes🥺
😭
"I feel the milk in my knees", like we said in Italy when something is so boring
This is the great passion of my country
he gave him life twice
"A nice movie to watch around Christmas", that woman is savage.
I have the theory they mixed this movie up with 'It's a wonderful life' 🤔
The Shoah is very Christmas
@@todomenosleer ah Classic mistake 😂
@@todomenosleer I think you're right 😅
@@todomenosleer AHHAHAHAHHAHAH
Roberto Benigni and Nicoletta Braschi, the two leading actors, are also husband and wife in real life, married for 30 years (since 1991).
And the child is also the same actor of the gladiator with russel Crowe!
That was by far the greatest father/husband ever put to film. He gave his wife the greatest gift she could ever wish for, it wasn’t just the survival of their child, but also the preservation of their child’s innocence from the realities of the Holocaust. It may have cost him his life, but he at least died with a full heart knowing he protected his child.
Very well said Sir
Nebraska
He didn’t know that. He didn’t know his child would survive the night. But he died knowing that he did the best he could.
@@micholitzia5726 But he was positive that his kid would ve alright uf he hanged on. The Germans were losing the war and the allied forces were coming.
One day, my Italian teacher told us we would be watching a movie, and let us choose which one. She asked if we wanted to cry or to laugh. We all answered : "come on, try to make us cry", on a tone of challenge. So we watched "la vita è bella". We all cried and she laughed in the end.
This movie is a heartbreaker every time I watch it
Where are you from?
@@marco4061 France
@@alphavector7802 ok, and is it common to learn Italian at school in France?
@@marco4061 not so much, at school, it usually comes third, after English, and German or Spanish, but not so much people take a third language class
@@alphavector7802 aah ok
Fun-fact: Roberto Benigni is really like this in real life, super funny guy. You should see when he wins the Oscar for this film or the interview with David Letterman!
Totally agree. His reaction to winning both Oscars was superb. And Sophia Loren .. magnificent.
You should watch him reciting " La Divina Commedia di Dante", it was a must know my high school in Italy, and watching him was the funniest way to learn it.
Dovremmo vivere tutti la vita con la sua spensieratezza!
And the way he is with his wife❤ he's always so romantic, so in love with her🥰🥰🥰
Da un film questi hanno capito com'è benigni.. per me può benissimo essere una faccia di merda nella vita di tutti i giorni
This guy was no fool.... he KNEW he was being marched to his death.
What was most important to him was to not traumatize his child.
This is bravery the likes of which is extremely rare.
He was 1000% MAN in every sense of the term.
No bravado, no ego... just a very good, humble man who has his priorities in exactly the right place.
Bravado?
@@neotenyhd

@@tomcarl8021 Maybe you shouldn't look at the comments before watching the video.
@@neotenyhd💩
The saddest part to me when rewatching this film is when he plays Offenbach over the loud speaker. We don't know it at the time of our first watch, but we know after that this is the last time he "communicates" directly to his wife. It's a final goodbye love song, so to speak. A man of so many words throughout the film hold his last conversation with his wife through an instrumental piece.
Cory so beautiful of you to pick that up! 💖🎵
as an Italian living in Italy, I'm glad you watched this film which is very important to us, brave. I hope you come and visit it🇮🇹
Brave looks like coraggiose 😅😅
è bellissimo questo film lo amo 😍
Bravissimo 💪💪💪
Brave: good job in italian😂💪
Bicycle Thieves and Life is Beautiful are among the best films ever made 💚
No muscles, no pretty face, actually he was exactly the opposite, but Guido is the manliest, lovely man ever existed, the one every single woman in the world would love to have.
What you described is the difference between true masculinity and toxic masculinity
@@EndTimeDreams so muscles and a pretty face = toxic masculinity?
Weird take
Genetics proof your statement otherwise
@@MrWillsonx It's only toxic masculinity if you believe muscles and a pretty face makes you a real man. True masculinity is identifying as a man and being comfortable with strength of character instead of physical strength.
Yes, I would be proud to have a friend like him. He’s awesome.
I watched this in Italian class. The most memorable scene for me is when the son said he didn’t want to take a shower. There’s just so much irony to it. Neither of them knew the true meaning of "taking a shower" at at death camp.
Where are you from?
Maryland. Why?
I found it interesting that you learn Italian at school. Is it usual in the U.S.?
The most common foreign language classes in America are Spanish and French. At the high school I went to there was an Italian class. It was taught by an old guy who born in Italy but emigrated to America. When he retired in 2018, the Italian class ceased to exist.
@@christopherparrisjr.3146 Such a pity .... once Italian was the second language spoken by NY population since there were so many inmigrants from Italy in the USA. Now I think there are hardly any ... in a sense it's good since that means they do not need to inmigrate anymore, at least to another continent as they stay in Europe as European Community citizens. It's better that way, if needed, they can go home by bus or train on a long weekend or holidays ,,, it's much harder when an intercontinental plane ticket has to be bought.
I ... I truly think ... that the most powerful and meaningful scene in the film, is when Roberto winks at Joshua. It is his last greeting to his son, not melancholy farewell, but a hopeful and playful farewell ... Pure magic.
Back when I first saw this movie I wondered if this movie was a true story because the narrator said it was his story. I kept looking and I later found out it was a true story and is why it got made in the first place. The real life boy was Rubino Romeo Salmoni and wrote a book titled "In the End, I Beat Hitler." The book was made into the movie.The real story was three brothers in the camp. Only one survived.
oh god, i was hoping it wasnt a true story. that makes it 100 times sadder. i cannot watch it a 2nd time, its too much for me. a beautiful film
@@EIGHTBITPUNK Apparently it was. There are other Jewish survivors that after seeing the movie saw a strong similarity to their own life experience. It appears the idea of fathers or mothers telling their kids it was all an elaborate game wasn't unique. Parents did whatever they could to shield their children from the harsh reality. Many of the untold stories were unsuccessful. This one just so happens to be a successful one.
that's it. The movie is inspired by the real story of Rubino Romeo Salmonì, who survived Auschwitz. He is Guido, but there is not babies i think. The point is that Salmonì was very optimism and he had a playful temperament during the imprisonment.
@@user-dt5zk7fd2q Era una storia vera. Ti auguro il meglio.
It's not the same story it's loosely based on it. In real life the dad survived and told his stories to his son.
This movie is a masterpiece. Benigni was able to make the spectators see the Holocaust with a different point of view, from the eyes of a father who does everything he can to save his kid from being traumatized forever by what happened in those camps.
We are the kid in this movie, the freedom we have today was gifted to us through the sacrifice of so many people.
Oscar 100% deserved
I'm Italian, and I live in Vergaio (a little city in Tuscany, where Roberto live too), sometime I see him walk on the road. He is so simple person, so human, kind, funny. All you see in "La vita è bella" is a mirror of Roberto's soul.
I hope you'll see the other films of him: "La tigre e la neve", "Non ci resta che piangere" (his first film) and "Johnny Stecchino" before all the others, and that you see also his show about Dante's Inferno, amazing, filmed in Santa Croce Square in Florence, under Dante's statue.
Anche quando commenta la Costituzione è incredibile
@@lorenzopippia5257 Boia se hai ragione
Every Oscar this film won was well deserved! I still remember Robertos' fun acceptance speech from that night. Great movie, glad it found a way to your hearts : )
I watched the movie with my family and we all cried. When Roberto won the Oscar we all chanted for him when he started jumping on the stage stairs like a super hero.
46:40 we ALL felt like that the first time we watched this movie. It also was a kind of beautiful (not gross, not vulgar or grotesque, but delicate and respectful) way to give our hero farewell.
Italy has produced many of the best films in the history of cinema. Bella reaction again, girls.
nha thats bs hollyhood is unbeatable
@@spongebobby6027 No.
@@spongebobby6027 Hollywood has learned from the great old Italian films my man, you dont really know how the things is in the reality...
@@spongebobby6027 Martin Scorsese made a list of his 12 favourite movies. Four of them are Italian. So far, Italy is the country that won the biggest number of Academy Awards for non-English language movies (so, the masterpieces made by Sergio Leone are not even in this list) and the second ranked for nominations after France. Neorealism and art cinema are genres born in Italy. Hollywood is the richest and first cinema industry in the world, but it's a fact that Italian cinema is one of the most important ones.
@@spongebobby6027 Hollywood is only the richest movie industry in the world, doesn't mean it also makes the best ones.
Most of the best movies were actually made in the rest of the world (or by foreigners filming in Hollywood), movies that changed the history of cinema at their time.
Hollywood is what it is now thanks to those masterpieces, copying and remaking them, or following the new style they invetend.
The son in this movie also played the son of Maximus Decimus Meridius in Gladiator. Although in Gladiator he was the son of the Spaniard, his only line in Gladiator was in Italian "Mama i soldati!" - "Mama the soldiers!"
I'm Italian and watching this movie when I wasn't father yet and now that I am makes a HUGE difference ❤️ This is unbelievably moving ❤️
I am Italian and I have watched this film many times. Even watching your video I cried. I'm glad you enjoyed it, Roberto Benigni is brilliant!
I'm Italian and this movie is a very pillar in our Country. Very beautiful 😍
El mejor protagonista de todos los tiempos. Nunca olvidaré su sacrificio.
Amén
Terrible peli
Alta peli
Es una joya es arte
Nunca olvidaremos a Tony Stark
A special film, because it mixes the tragedy of the holocaust with the comedy of Roberto Begnigni. I usually never cry, but here was not possible. Then in Italian it is even more enjoyable because the speeches make more sense.
I watched this movie with my mum and we were totally amazed. I loved watching your reactions and cried along with you. The psychology of the father was something out of this world. A true masterpiece of a movie. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
At the start, when you said this was supposed to be a good film to watch at Christmas time, with no word about the Holocaust, I thought "Oh boy, you are in for a surprise..." and I guess you missed that the guy with two sons at the beginning of the film had named them Adolfo and Benito, the first names of Hilter and Mussolini. Plus when Roberto Benigni was performing on the tables at the school, it was all about making fun of the Italian fascists. Mussolini was the original fascist, and it was Hitler who followed his example. This was a great film though, and when the film won the Oscar for Best International Film in 1999, Roberto Benigni's reaction was famous (he also won the Oscar for Best Leading actor, beating Tom Hanks for 'Saving Private Ryan', and the film also won the Oscar for Best Musical Score).

I remembered the award for best film but not the others, what a great reaction from Roberto when he found out that he won and what a nice speech, thank you for sharing it.
It must have been extra special for him to get the Best International Film award from Sophia Loren, another Italian legend.
@@Curraghmore now I understand her emotion too
Came here to talk exactly about Roberto Banigni's awesome reaction! Upvote!
Really nice to see a European movie for a change - yet obviously successful and popular, in its own way. Watching the second half of the film take a much darker turn, after its more romantic first half, and particularly the twists of comedy and tragedy the final minutes, was (as the Homies girls witnessed) really masterful cinema.
Questo film avrà anche delle mancanze storiche, ma è carico d'amore vero e l'emozione che provoca è infinita. Grazie😘💕 Roberto Benigni 🥰❤
Ragazze è incredibile, ho visto 10 volte questo film, ma la vostra reazione mi ha fatto piangere come la prima volta. Grazie!
the way Roberto Benigni accepcted the Best Foreign Language Film oscar win was epic.
ua-cam.com/video/8cTR6fk8frs/v-deo.html así es
Si un comentario en español, esa película me destruyo. La parte donde salen los tanques y se asoma un gringo, me quebré. La película dura 1h 56 min, pero te duele toda la vida.
Re si💔
Asi es
es una joya la pelicula
Totalmente la vi cuando era pequeño y me duele aún
Lo que hace un padre x su hijo ese es verdadero amor
When I saw this movie for the first time I cried all my tears.
As a 37 years old man I wish, if I ever had a son or a daughter (which I hope), I could do 1/10 of what this man has done for his son.
What an example!
Greetings from Italy, ladies...
Müslims will take over europa
Questo film è rimasto nel mio cuore, e anche se l'ho visto molte volte, una lacrima esce sempre. La soundtrack è molto bella e ascoltandola di nuovo penso soltanto all'amore e alla gioia di quel bambino convinto che tutto era un gioco e che alla fine abbraccia sua madre.
We watched this film in my Italian film class (it was even mentioned in our text books...which we had to read when we were in the middle of watching it for homework and was spoiled about the ending!) It is such an interesting movie! It goes from this bright sunny happy scene to someplace very dark and sad and you can even see since the very beginning what was happening in Italy throughout WWII. Small things like posters, what was happening in schools, and even when Guido and his buddy arrives and drives through a parade.
My favorite part was when he was praying for certain "miracles" to happen in front of Dora! She stands there, thinking nothing is going to happen, then just drops her jaw when it does🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Really excellent choice. I cried a lot in 1998 in theatre. I recommend you three films I like a lot : A River Runs Through It, directed by Robert Redford with Redford and Brad Pitt, yes it's him ; The Lives of Others (German speaking), directed by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck, tears guaranteed ; The Iron Giant, directed by Brad Bird, an animation film for fun.
As an Italian, paradoxically, I saw this film very late. In fact, at 17 I still didn't know that one of the most awarded and discussed films from my country in the world still slipped through my fingers, without my realizing it. When I saw him, I understood why, until then, I never made contact with him: I was not ready. In fact, I could never understand the real meaning of what the film wants to tell and convey. Fortunately, seeing him several times, I learned that this film makes "comedy" a story of courage, or the other way around, if you prefer 😊. Many accuse him of historical revisionism, of treating the subject in a misguided and false way, only to move through a softened and trivialized history. Instead, I find that this process is the vehicle of a strong message, which certainly has less impact than the reality of things, yet no less strong on a human level. I am very happy that you too, now, have seen and experienced this film in first person 😁, and that you have shared it with us all ☺️. I hope he can have transmitted to you, even if only in part, the great emotion that is this story of a father's sacrifice towards his son. The emotions that, I believe, each of us feels following you do not come so much from the films you watch, but more from you 😁☺️. True and transparent, what more could we want 😆.
Una obra maestra, solo la he podido ver una sola vez completa por qué me duele cada pedacito de ella y aún así la recuerdo entera, siempre será la mejor que he visto
estamos en las mismas y me acabo de enterar que fue basada en la historia de 3 niños. solo uno sobrevivio...
I‘m from austria and my childhood best friends family is jewish, I watched this movie for the first time at their house when I was like 12. I just love it and I‘m so happy more reactors finally pick it up. It‘s such an important and beautiful movie
28:30 this is a joke that is hard to translate. "Punti" in italian means both points and stitches, bartolomeo says "I got 20 points" meaning "I got 20 stitches". It's just a happy coincidence just like the hat one and the key one back when Guido was seducing Dora
I haven't watched this movie in twenty years but remember I cried then. Watching all you cry to it made me cry twice as much. An unbelievably good movie.
La vita e Bella is another level of emotion
this movie is the proof that we can see the magnificent in the worst horrors...the boy is also the son of maximus in gladiator
In Europe there was a saying that said: "It is easier to find a green horse than an honest Jew", that's why the anti-Semites painted the horse that way to attack Guido's uncle.
I remember watching this movie when I was a little kid with my parents, at the end we were all crying. Back then I didn't know anything about WW2 and the nazis, a few years later when I learned, it got a lot more shocking knowing people were capable of such horror things :( . The movie is amazing, the main actor is fantastic so is the little boy.
"And the Oscar goes to...ROBERTO!!!" 🇮🇹 I'm Italian and I'm so glad you watched "La vita è bella". 🥺❤️ Roberto Benigni Is a fantastic actor and this movie makes me feel so proud to be Italian everytime. An AMAZING, INCREDIBLE movie. So much laughs, so much tears, so much emotions. And the music, the soundtrack..ahh! Magnificent.❤️
OH...MY...GOD...
Each time I see a notification for a movie like this...automatically feel sorry for them.
We ALL know how it ends.
i’m so glad u guys reacted to this movie because it’s a masterpiece! hope some other reactors decide to watch this movie because it’s honestly beautiful and as an italian i’m so proud roberto won the oscar for this 🤍
also nicoletta and roberto (the two main characters) are such a cute couple 🤍 they have been married for 30 years now and just a few months ago he made a beautiful speech for a prize he won and talked about how much she inspired him & how much he loves her
Thanks so much for this video, girls! This was the movie I cried the most in my entire life! A beautiful story that moves us completely. I started the movie thinking it would be one way and it completely changed course halfway through the movie. Simply incredible!
01-01-2022. It's 2:30 AM here in Italy and the new year has just begun. I decide to watch something on UA-cam and this video pops up. Writing this comment one hour later. Thanks for the video, La Vita è Bella is a movie that touched me deep inside, long ago, and you girls are just sweethearts (and I fell in love with Ellie). Cheers from Italy and happy new year!
I have a feeling the movie that was recommended to you was supposed to be "it's a wonderful life" which is much more of a "nice movie to watch at christmastime" than la vita e bella
Looooool you may be right and that's really funny 😂. Still, if that's the case, they got lucky because this is also a really good movie
@@Lightsephiroth totally agree lol
but it is a great companion piece too Shindler's List , which they did recently
That's hilarious 😂
🤔🤔😂😂😂
It is a tragic film with many pieces of comedy. When he arrives at the Nazi concentration camp with his son, he makes him believe throughout the second part of the film that it is a game of points and prizes to hide the horrors of the Holocaust from him. Roberto Benigni is the best Italian actor and director in the world who has been able to tell this tragic story
Never laughed so hard nor cried as much in one movie as i did in this movie!! It's such a sweet funny yet tragic movie
This movie won 3 Oscars and you can see why still today. It's so emotional and real at the same time, Benigni's best movie ever.
As great as this one is, I personally think Benigni's best movie is "Non ci resta che piangere", even if that one is a comedy. He acts alongside Massimo Troisi, one of the best actors in italian cinema at his time.
@@fabianstalder5008 yes it's a great movie too. It was directed by Benigni?
@@fabianstalder5008 are you Italian?
@@Annie-rw2ec No, I'm Swiss. I live in Chiasso, a town that borders with Italy. Here we speak italian.
@@Annie-rw2ec Benigni didn't direct it, but he participated with Troisi in writing it, and they both acted in it.
Es mi película favorita, enserio me dolió la muerte de Guido, es la única película que he empatizado con el protagonista.. definitivamente una de las mejores películas que he visto
Esa película es hermosa. Un clásico del cine. Saludos chicas.
Il film lo conosciamo tutti in Italia, ma vedere le vostre reazioni mi ha fatto piangere di nuovo ancora e ancora 😭
Roberto Benigni...pride of my country!!Wonderful movie!This is one of your best reaction ever!
I'm Italian and I don't know how many times I've seen and reviewed this film. I can't think of a more deserved Oscar. A brilliant film, practically 2 films in one: the first time in which Benigni's comic genius gives the maximum and a second time in which to make what was more than a tragedy pass for a game, for the love of his son, not to let him experience that horror. You have been good at immersing yourself completely in the world of "Life is Beautiful"
This man went the extra -mile- lightyear to protect his son from every single thing. That kid is lucky to have that man as his father.
And my favourite scene (when I automatically start crying) is when Guido put theyr favourite music ("Le Bancarolle") outside of the window
Ciao ragazze,mi avete fatto piangere anche a me,solo guardando voi. Grande film di Benigni e moglie. Ricordiamoci sempre che non dobbiamo ma e poi mai.....dimenticare! Andrea

Roberto Begnini won the Oscar as Best Actor that year over Tom Hanks. Check the reaction he had when he won: ua-cam.com/video/8cTR6fk8frs/v-deo.html
Fun fact: Guido and Dora are a couple in real life, they’ve been married for like 30 years
Roberto Benigni è tra i più grandi artisti italiani e Mondiali. Solo la sua genialità poteva raccontare l'orrore e la cattiveria che quel periodo del nostro tempo è venuto fuori da degli esseri umani (se così si potevano definire all'epoca)in una maniera così sobria e leggera, ma allo stesso tempo con durezza e realtà dei fatti tanto è vero che vinse l'Oscar.......Grande Roberto. Tutta Italia è con te....

As an italian, I think this is by far one of the greatest movies my country has to offer

This movie was my favorite of the year that I was born: 1998. I can say this film was possible because of success of Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan and very others about Second World War. An interesting fact: you can choose to watch it like a child (believing the games that Guido invented) or like and adult (keeping alive like himself).
If you're interested, there's French movies with courageous jews children.

A beautiful Italian film by director Giuseppe Tornatore and winner of the Oscar for best foreign film: Nuovo Cinema Paradiso.
It is really worth it. Talk about the love of cinema. Which I see a lot in you and in your reactions.
Would also highly recommend Cinema Paradiso (but not the longer director's cut), and Il Postino
Yes !!!
Il Postino and Cinama Paradiso
!!!!!!
Il Postino was the first Italian movie I ever watched and it also won a Best Foreign Language Oscar.
Thank you girls, I'm Italian and I saw that film at the theater in 1997, through your reactions you have brought me some good memories related to this film
Ho pianto per quanto siete state dentro il film !! Vi adoro !! Film capolavoro 🧡🧡
This is, hands-down, one of the most moving and honest reactions to one of the best films ever!
I had to watch this movie in middle school for a class. I literally sat in front of my laptop crying for 20 minutes i think - could've been more. I don't think I can watch it again, it's very heart wrenching
You didn't watch the movie, you felt it. Their reactions were intense. 🥺 Greetings from México 🇲🇽
Come italiano, sono stato felice di vedere con voi questa perla del nostro cinema di una storia d'amore di un padre e di una madre in un periodo di violenza inaudita. Ho pianto con voi.
To think that Spielberg went after Benigni very publicly for this film, accusing him of downplaying and exploiting the tragedy of the Holocaust.
Schindler more like Swindler's list on this one.
yea and if there's a movie that's exploitative with Spielberg things it's SL
I’m a person, which due to his depressing pass, current life, loneliness, mind in the past, sacrifing or losing all for others yet not getting appreciated, the abuse, the loss of my “brother” made me emotionless. Nothing teared me up, but this was insane close. Just how it started as a Comedy and a “Prince” who would sacrifice himself as Hero, how he took it all as a Joke just to hide the truth from his son until his death, was all so depressing. When he turned around, staring at the boy, while walking as a Casper until his end. Wrst thing is sometimes your sacrifices cannot be appreciated even if it’s mosty for their good. That their unawares and lack of knowledge of the Situation protects them like in this case. As if his death was for nothing, yet it was the only thing he coud do. It started with a comedic romantic prince doing everything to win the princess’ heart to a hero, sacrificing his life. He died with a smile, but this and “The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas” will always be my favourite dramas, which are my favourite movie genre.
Also I’m German 50% and lived there, ehich is why I lost everything also my father yet hate then
The tank at the end (first prize) was American. It was a brave choice to make a comedy film about the Holocaust.
Jerry Lewis tried to do it in the 70s
When he speaks to her over the intercom and his son yells "Mama!" gets me every time.
Grazie per questa live-reaction di questo capolavoro del cinema italiano su di una storia vera in un periodo nero della storia.
And this is the first time an Italian movie gets reacted. I searched youtube for reactions like this one but zero!! Also, very rare for a parent of a youtuber requesting a movie like this, let alone your patrons or youtube subs.
I knew you would like this movie, it is beautiful, sad but beautiful ... The things that some parents do so that their children feel safe, do not be afraid and maintain that beautiful innocence that characterizes them, I like to think that there are parents and mothers like that in the world really .... Another good movie is I am Sam.
Esa pelicula es una obra maestra del cine es hermosa y triste al final muy triste el dio su vida por su hijo que es los que todo padre o madre haria en su lugar .
THIS MOVIE IS A MESSAGE TO UNDERSTAND . A MESSAGE TO BE A BETTER PERSON.
Watching reactions on UA-cam to different movies that I know a lot about, I have realized that, as much as there are movies that have always moved me a lot (and this is one of them), and as much as I have also cried at some one of them, is not the same as seeing the emotional reaction (and now I'm not only talking about crying, but also joy, surprise, terror,...) of another person. And seeing a single person get emotional (Ellie, for example, is an "easy-tearing" person), crying... well you say "bah, ok, I'm fine, my soul shrinks a little, but ok, controlled ". But seeing you all FOUR at the same time...🤣🤣 I've always been very empathetic, but with something like this, empathy skyrockets. 😅Especially watching Michelle, who doesn't cry often, and especially Viki, who makes one of the cutest faces I've ever seen when crying. And yet... it's more beautiful to see you laugh.
Exactly.
I have loved Roberto Benigni ever since I was a child. In the eighties Italian TV was quite boring, rigid and formal. Every time Benigni was invited as a guest it was like a storm of laughter, he would run and jump everywhere, touching people, saying loudly all the silly jokes his colleagues were afraid to say (sex-related for the most part). He was completely unpredictable and wild. This was the kind of showman he was: ua-cam.com/video/UrFWj3BsqiM/v-deo.html here basically he just lists all the many vernacular synonyms of women's and men's genitals. He made some good comedies by then, and some others were still to come. He was a natural born comedian. And then he came out with this movie, which was totally unexpected of him, and gave a new twist to his career and another dimension to the man as he was known. It was a huge sensation at the time.
no matter how many times I see this movie the tears drops everywhere
È incredibile dopo la quantità di volte visto il film una volta arrivati verso la fine mi massacra sempre
Man, I haven’t seen this since the only time I ever saw it back when it came out in ‘98. Still hit me big time just watching the little clips here. What a movie.
If I may recommend some other absolutely top foreign language films, you need to watch Downfall and Goodbye Lenin. Easily among the best there are & I know you’ll all enjoy them if you ever get the chance. Love the channel, ladies!
You four have to watch "Rain Man" (1988). It's a beautiful, heartwarming movie that won Academy Awards for Best Actor, Best Screenplay, Best Director, and Best Picture. A great movie with some amazing performances. Of course before you watch it you should watch "Abbott and Costello's - Who's on First" comedy skit which plays an important part in the movie. It's a historically famous and hilarious comedy bit that's definitely worth watching.
Ooof... I needed a good cry. I've seen this movie at least 10 times since 1997 and it always does that to me.
I've absolutely loved your review, thank you for your felt-hearted way of living this movie, which is such a classic and makes me proud to be italian!! To remain in Italy and be lighthearted, I suggest you to watch Disney's Luca. It's very deep and worths it all!!!
Another great Italian movie is "Pane e Tulipani" or Bread and Tulips in English form 2000. Great slice of life film with comedy, romance, and friendship.
Thank you for reacting honestly and openly to this beautiful movie. I love seeing people feel how I feel about it
