Even in the hardest and darkest days, even if there is no hope, and death is imminent, he still loves and protects his wife and son with life and wisdom. His courage and wisdom, even in the smoke of the war, even in the darkness of the concentration camp, even at the moment of death when the gunfire sounded, still flashed with dazzling light.

He tried his best to create a beautiful fantasy for his son in the miserable world of the concentration camp. He told his son that all cruelty was just a game, and the reward for the game was a brand new tank. As a result, his son had enough courage to survive that period of water and fire. In the end, when he got on an Allied tank, his happiness was beyond words, and that happiness was exactly what his father used. Life was exchanged for him. He did not give up any opportunity to create even a bit of joy for his family in the wind and rain. When passing by the radio room of the concentration camp, he risked calling his wife's name on the radio. He wanted to tell her that he and his son were still alive. Taking the opportunity of being a waiter, he played "Ship Song" for his wife. This song that once rang on the night of their love, drifted through the obstruction of the indulging fog, and brought comfort to his wife in the dark night. Let them all muster up the courage to experience the gloomy time together.

On the last night of his life, he settled his son in an iron box, and then went to find his wife. After he was arrested, when he passed the iron box, he knew that his son was watching him, so he put on a funny appearance and made his son laugh. He still insisted on making his son believe. All this is just a game, don't be afraid, always face it with smile and optimism. Then, the gunfire sounded, he went, and his son and his wife were finally liberated. When they hugged each other in the sun, his son said, we won! Indeed, in this catastrophe, they won, because they have a heroic husband and father, whose name is Kedo.

"Life Is Beautiful" is a very romantic movie. The Jewish youth Kedu went to an Italian town to prepare to make a living by opening a bookstore. There, he met the beautiful girl Dora, and then a series of full of wisdom, Funny, mischievous, romantic and relaxing clips. Finally, Gideo and Dora finally become married. As soon as the camera turns, they chase their son from the room to the yard. The happy life of a family of three is enviable. Gideo uses The bicycle was carrying the beautiful wife, and the clever son was sitting in the frame. They galloped past, but the Nazi barbed wire already appeared on the street.

Nothing is more disturbing than the sudden cessation of happiness. When Gedu’s happy life just started, his Jewish identity made him go to a concentration camp, and his wife, who didn’t have to go to a concentration camp, resolutely jumped on the train with them. The most sincere love sometimes doesn't need too much words, and you don't even need to hold your hands to look at it, just jump and follow to the ends of the world. In the film, the actor who played Dora had good acting skills. It was a kind of restrained peace. When she heard the news that the child was about to be killed in the concentration camp, she had no expression on her face, just standing. On the stairs, as the crowd from behind collided with her, she looked out the window with far-reaching eyes. Later, she was sent to pick out the clothes of the victims. The feeling of being cautious and not daring or unwilling to find her son's clothes was in place. It can also be seen from this that a person's deepest love is actually very peaceful, and it is often the beginning of relief to cry out.

In the end, Kedu's son and Dora hugged each other in the sun, and he yelled, we won. At that time, he didn't know that his father was dead. The electric influences the narration. In the voice of Gedu’s son, listening to the voice, he is also in old age, so this movie can be understood as his memory. In his memories, his father is still so alive, this is not another kind of alive. Guns, explosives, poison gas, death, hunger, these things seem to be powerful, but the final winner can only be people and life. The real light is like the moment when Gido blinked at his son, meaning that no matter what, as long as we are not afraid, strong, happy, and hopeful, life is beautiful after all, so we will always win.
