What overall point or meaning did the film Life is Beautiful try to portray about the Holocaust?

Asked by Wiki User

I think the main point of the film was to portray basic humanity through the main characters ability to express humor and hope in even the darkest of circumstances and regardless of the brutality and callousness that people can and do rise above it even if the result is pain or death. This is the most basic of mans gift to each other when we choose or are put into impossible to understand positions

A Jewish-Italian bookstore owner and the protagonist of the film. After he marries Dora, they have a son, Giosue. He has a way of making seemingly magical things happen by manipulating his surroundings. When he is taken to a concentration camp with Dora and Giosue, he tries to encourage them with his antics and machinations, and he eventually sacrifices his life to save his son. So he in my opinion is the mian character of 'LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL'.

In 1939, Jewish-Italian Guido Orefice comes into Arezzo, Italy, ultimately to open a book store. In the meantime, he will work as a waiter at the hotel restaurant where his Uncle Eliseo is the maître d'. In town, he meets a school teacher named Dora, who he calls Princess and who comes from a wealthy Italian family. For him, it's love at first sight. Despite she already being in a relationship with another man, Guido ultimately sweeps her off her feet. They get married and have a son they name Giosué. On Giosué's fifth birthday, World War II is in full force. Since they are Jewish, the Germans take away Guido, Eliseo and Giosué to a labor camp. Wanting to be with her family, Dora insists she be taken too, but she is housed in the women's side of the camp. To protect Giosué from the horror of what is happening to them, Guido tells him that they are playing a game, certain actions which garner points, other actions which take points away or disqualify one from the game. The first to reach 1,000 points wins the prize of a real tank. Guido's primary goal is to keep Giosué safe at all cost, while he tries to figure out a way to get his family out of the camp and keep the Germans at bay from learning what he is doing with Giosué.

What book does isaak read in the film fanny and Alexander?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This is a talmudic excert most probably- or something o the kind. There are lots of tales and proverbs like that in Jewish tradition and the symbols and the sence and spirit of the Isaak's story correspond to Jewish tradition very much.

Though I am not sure Bergman could just invent the story - nevertheless it does not matter Talmud and othe Jewish wirtten and oral sources are so vast that you can always find something of the kind.
