Life is Beautiful

Life is Beautiful was wonderful as it was very good and had a lot of similarities and differences. One of the similarities from the movie and Night was that both protagonists were sent onto the train that was going to a concentration camp. The difference of this however, is that Elie was sent there for almost two years while the main characters in the movie was sent to a camp close to the end of the war. Another similarity between Life is Beautiful and Night is that both Elie and Giosuè lost their father during their time inside the concentration camp, only Giosuè was a child while Elie was only a teenager.

Life is Beautiful and Night also had similarities and differences about the situations that were happening. One of these differences is that Life is Beautiful took place mostly in Italy while Night took place mostly in Auschwitz, Birkenau, and Buna. Life is Beautiful also show the effects of Italy taking over Ethiopia and how they celebrated with their victory while Night only talks about the event briefly. Night is a bit similar from Life is Beautiful during the camps as Night describes the conditions and horrors of what he saw. Life is Beautiful is the same as there is a scene where Guido (the father) is carrying Giosuè (his son) during their attempt at escaping the concentration camp, witnesses a massive pile of deceased Jewish prisoners and slowly walks away.

The tone and mood of both Life is Beautiful and Night is different and similar. Life is Beautiful and Night starts off joyful as the main characters are living their peaceful and exciting lives in the beginning but becomes gloomy as they are taken to the camps. Night and Life is Beautiful also have the same point of view (first person). However, Night is told in a more serious tone while Life is Beautiful contains humorous events but still is shown serious.

Life is shown beautiful in the film as it adds elements of romance and humor to show how joyful the characters were. In the film, Guido goes everywhere near Nora and does anything that gets him close to Nora such as impersonating an inspector, being a waiter at a fancy hotel, etc. Also scene from the film that shows how life is beautiful is how Guido and Nora become married and start their life together with their family.
