the search for justice
Life is Beautiful can be described as a tragicomedy which portrays the Holocaust as a game which can be won if you don't get caught. This film was written and produced by Roberto Benigni in 1998. The film Escape from Sobibor was written by Richard Rashke and produced in 1987. It was based on a true story that the Nazi's couldn't hide. I chose both movies because of the different views they portrayed of the Holocaust. It seems that in both movies, survival and hope are the two strongest characteristics of the Jewish people. Each movie depicts this in a different way. Robert Benigni portrays the Nazi concentration camp as a game with his son in order to shelter him from the cruel aspects of the camp, where as in the Escape from Sobibor, the main goal is to escape the cruelty of the camp. Life is Beautiful is a fictional movie based on the surrounding facts of the Holocaust. Escape from Sobibor is a true story written by a survivor himself. In Life is Beautiful, the most meaningful aspects of the movie were the conversations Benigni had with his son. It shows how far the father would go to protect his son and the love he had for him. It allowed you to feel the compassion of the situation d
Escape from Sobibor allowed you to feel the desperation and hopelessness of the Jewish people. Self-control can be in anger management, watching what we say and how we handle our problems. Robert Benigni took a different approach than Rashke. In Escape from Sobibor it affected my perspective in giving me a better understanding of their determination for survival and the incredible amount of self-control they must have had in holding back their anger of the Nazis. Both movies depicted people of courage facing tragedy. The factual events surrounding this movie only increased the drama and the realization of the horrors of the concentration camps. It brings awareness of the tragedy to the forefront and these movies, fictional or fact, does not allow the tragedy to die. This would give someone compassion for what the Jewish people went through. The clothing and surrounding scenes were depicts the times of the events. This movie showed me how to live life positively. The fear, the random shootings, the work camps, the gas chambers, the massacres. They evoked emotions of sadness, horror, disbelief and pain. Escape from Sobibor is a true story written by a survivor himself. Life is Beautiful was fun to watch and showed an enormous amount of sensitivity from parent to child and sacrifice but that story could have been written in other times of history. The Escape from Sobibor grabbed my attention because it is a true story.
