beautiful life

This is a simple story.
Like a fable, there are sorrows and joys,
and like a fable, it is incredible.
The story begins on a sunny summer day when two innocent, childlike men drove all the way in a car. On this day, the protagonist met his princess for the first time. Like all fairy tales, the prince and princess met by chance, left a good impression on each other, and immediately parted.
But the princess is a real princess, and the prince is more like a clown to please everyone.
Their occasional meeting is always full of drama
. The first time a clown catches a princess from the sky.
The second time the princess was knocked to the ground by the clown.
Beautiful love grows in the encounter.
The clown knew that from the moment he caught this woman, he had fallen in love with her deeply.
What about the princess's love? Did he pretend to be an inspector and dance on the school desk? Was it from the night he walked out of the theater, when he used magic to fulfill his wish? Or did it start early when she lifted the veil and watched him smirk at herself?
All we can know is that she also fell in love with him. Fall in love with his innocence, who is not part of her life class like a child.
He hoped that the clown could take him away.
Finally, the clown riding a green steed, in front of everyone, took away the princess who participated in the engagement ceremony.
From then on, the clown and princess lived a beautiful and happy life and had a lovely son.
However, this is not a fairy tale, it is Italy in 1935-a country under the Nazi iron horse.
All the beauty was shattered by the artillery fire of the war and
they were sent to a concentration camp.
When the young child asked his father where he was going, his father smiled and replied that it was a birthday surprise, so the location of the trip was a secret.
All the darkness that appeared before the child’s eyes was turned into a beautiful thing by the father, and all the truth was turned into a lie,
So entering the concentration camp is to participate in a game, you can get points every day, and you can get a real tank if you accumulate 1,000 points.
All the rules of war are turned into the rules of the game by the father and communicated to the children.
When the father was finally sent to be shot and passed by the iron box where the child was hiding, the father showed the only sad expression, but in a flash, he smiled and made faces at the child again, beckoning the child not to come out.
At the dark corner at the end of the street, the German soldier pushed his father into the alley with a clear shot.
Finally, the first dawn after the darkness has passed.
When the child walked out of the iron box and saw the giant tank parked in front of him, he couldn't help but cheered: "A real tank! Dad, we won!" The
father weaved a lie with his life to protect the child's beautiful innocence. .
The director beautifies all black behaviors and processes, and uses kindness and beauty to make these blacks more profound. There is no positive description of the war in the whole film, it is just a story about a family. The movie uses the unexpected encounters of this happy family, and the parents' hard work reflects the cruelty of war. Just like the joy when the child finally told his mother that he had won, he didn't know that his father had left. At that moment, I saw the pain, forbearance, struggle and hardship of a father, including all the people in that era.
