Life is Beautiful blog 4/16/15

“Life is beautiful” and “Night” are very comparable. The movie and the book have many similarities and differences at the same time. An example of a similarity is that both the movie and book starts off happy and right before the concentration camps were started. They also both have foreshadows of something bad is coming. Like how in the book "Night" Moshe the Beatle warned the town that something bad was coming but know none listened. In the movie "Life is Beautiful" the horse was tagged saying "Jewish Horse" this was one of the signs that something bad was going to happen.  One difference that the book and the movie had was that in night the whole family was Jewish but in Life is Beautiful only the father and son were Jewish but the mother decided to go with them. 

The mood and tone of the book and movie both started of very similar.  They were both happy and cheerful in the beginning.  In the beginning both Guido and Elie didn't have many problems they both had good lives and were not experiencing many hardships. But once the Nazis started killing the Jews the mood changed. In the book night the mood starts turning negative things all go down hill but in the movie the mood stays somewhat positive.

Life is beautiful throughout the movie even though they are so close to death in many ways. An example of this is when Guido and Dora get married and love is the only thing that Guido cares about while they are in the concentration camps. He keeps life beautiful my always loving Dora and his son like when he try's to communicate to Dora by playing their wedding song on the speaker to let her know that he is alive and that he loves her. Guido also keeps life fun for his son, which gives him happiness. He has to make sure that Joshua survives and the only way to do that is to lie to him and keep making him happy. These are the two main examples that I found from the movie, which represented life being beautiful.
