Life is Beautiful

In the movie from Life is Beautiful  is about a guy who is named Guido Orefice a.k.a his real name is Roberto Benigni he is a Italian, Jewish man who arrives to work in the city where his uncle Eliseo operates a restaurant. Guido falls in love with a girl named Dora a.k.a Nicolette Braschi. Later he sees her again in the city where she is a teacher. Dora was set to marry a man who she did not love and he was a very ignorant man. Then Guido found a way into Dora's  heart. They are later married and have a son and own a book store. Through out their life it was all happy and joyful. Later on Guido and his uncle also Giosue are seized on Giosue birthday and they are beening taken to concertation camps. When Dora comes back to her home she finds her home all trashed and her family is gone. She goes to the train and ask the German soldier that there has been a mistake of her husband and son going into the train. The German soldier says that there is no mistake and tells Dora to leave, but Dora refuses and asks the German soldier if she can go on the train with them. Dora volunteered herself so that she could stay close with her family. 

From the book Night and the movie Life is Beautiful have a lot of similarities. Some similarities that they both have is that the characters aboard a train and get crowded with tons of people smushed all together and they have to at least stay on that train for a few days or more and some don't even make it to the camps. In the trains it is smelly and very cramped there is no were to move that much, some people who are sick are even put into those trains. After the people arrive to the camps the people get sorted by gender woman to this side and the men to the other side. Then they sort it out men get separated some men go to the right and some go to the left same for woman. Usually people die on the first day because they are killed instantly. German soldiers would tell the Jewish people they are gonna take a shower but in reality they are getting thrown into the gas chambers to die. Usually children are the ones to die first than the men and woman. Some are luckily enough to stay alive, but they still have to work. Old people and children do not work. Both book and movie go through a crises. Families get separated and get killed. It was not easy for the Jews, they had it very hard and surviving was their only wait out of the misery. 

I wouldn't say that there was a lot of differences because from the book and movie they had a lot of similarities with father and son relationship and surviving. I would say that some differences that they had was that they did experience different tragedies. From the movie Life is Beautiful  it had more humor so that it wouldn't sound and look to sad, but in the Night book it had more of a serious effect and more gloomy and sad mood to its theme. 

The mood/tone of the book and the movie had different types of ways of showing the mood/tone. In the movie Life is Beautiful  it showed its mood and tone into a humor effect. Some examples are when Guido and Giosue get sent into their camp. Giosue was asking is father questions about where were they? and why where they here? So Guido tells his son Giosue that they are gonna play a game and who ever wins and gets 1,000 points gets to win a tank. Guido tells the rules to Giosue that to win he has to stay quite, not cry, don't ask for is mom, or says that he is hungry or he will lose. Giosue does not know what is going on around him and why he is there, but his father Guido tells him in a better way that everything will be alright if only he follows those rules to be safe. 

How life is shown beautiful in the movie they start of by being happy and joyful. Guido finds his love of his life and he has a family. They live together Guido and his family go everywhere together. They are very close with each other. In the first part of the movie Guido always try's to stay positive on where ever he goes to places. Guido shows life in a better way because he is not a negative person he always is being a positive person. The movie Life is Beautiful is actually full of surprises for everyone.
