There are a good amount of connections that can be made with the film and literature with poetry we have read. One of the major connections I can make involves poetry. When I was reading my classmate's assigned poetry for the Butterfly project, some poems connected life at a ghetto or concentration camp as something else. For example the poem would be a cover up for how life truly is, which is something tragic. In Life is Beautiful there was also a cover story line in it. This cover up is for Joshua. Everything was a game to Joshua which his father invented, something with a more positive then what is actually is. Another connection is between the movie and Night by Elie Wiesel. In Night the father and son bond starts when Elie's family gets separated. Before, Elie mentioned his dad being busy with his work. He would not make time for his children. After, it was just him and his dad working together fighting for their life. Although Joshua has no idea what is happening.
Many of the poems ended with a depressing tone/mood and the book Night ended in a okay tone/mood for me. Life is Beautiful is definitely an opinionated ending. I am focusing more on the end because it is the overall conclusion. In Life is Beautiful humor is added but not the kind of humor that mocks the Holocaust which is appropriate for the film.
In the beginning of Life is Beautiful life is truly beautiful. Guido has an adventure and gets the girl. They get married and have a son. It is obvious that they had a beautiful life. Despite the fact that they were in the concentration camp life was still beautiful in a way. When Guido would send little messages to Dora to let her know he is alive that shows that their feelings for each other never ends. Guido's goal is also to have Dora and Joshua alive, which he achieved, therefore at the end life stays beautiful. Therefore, beautiful life has its flaws but stays beautiful.
