Movie Review: Concentration Camps CAN Be Funny

I managed to catch Life is Beautiful the other night on cable, and it is--honestly--one of the funniest movies ever.

The film reflected the comedies of the 1940's, as the plot followed the saddest tragedy of that era. Those two contradictions juxtaposed took the film to an elevated comedic and dramatic level. I giggle any time I think of several scenes...I also get choked up at others. And--the true measure of any great film--I laughed AND got choked up at the ending.

"We won!!!"

1000 points gets a tank, complaining loses you 10 points...
