HW: How do the characters in 'Life is Beautiful' represent an engaging and unique presentation of the Holocaust experience?

The characters in “Life is Beautiful” represent an engaging and unique presentation of the holocaust experience because their experience in the camp is not taken seriously by Guido and Joshua by making a joke, or game, about the camp but Guido knows that they are going to die there and he protects Joshua from finding out.

The First reason why “Life is Beautiful” is a unique and engaging movie is because of the innocence of Joshua and Guido’s attempt to keep Joshua from finding out what is actually going to happen. It is also very engaging because we know what the camp is and what is eventually going to happen to both of them. One of Guido’s main attempt to cover what is going on is when the German walks into their room and asks who speaks German and can translate into English and Guido says he can but he can’t. He pretends that the German is explaining the and makes a bit of a joke of it by saying that he has 20 lollypops to make Joshua laugh.

The characters in 'Life is Beautiful' represent a very engaging and unique presentation on the Holocaust. The movie is set in a concentration camp with the Jews perspective in the camp. By having a Jews perspective on what it was like to be in a concentration camp we get a sense on empathy and we feel bad for what they all had to go through in World War II and the mass killings of them. By getting the movie in the Jews perspective instead of the Germans, we get more of an understanding of how depressing this situation that they were in was, which makes the movie more interesting and engaging with the audience.

As a conclusion i believe that the characters in Life is Beautiful represent a very engaging and unique story and that the move ie is a very good one
