Unconditional Love

Life is beautiful is a family movie inspired by a love of a father to his family, especially to his son. The story began when a Jewish and poet, Guido Orefice, meets an Italian school teacher, Dora. Guido uses his tricks and style to get Dora to like her, and he did. He and Dora went away with each other and lived in Guido’s uncle’s house. They then had a child named, Giosue. Guido and Dora always had conflicts with each other, and then until Giosue’s certain birthday, reconciliation happened between them. After that, Germans captured Guido and his son so that they will be transferred to a concentration camp. Dora doesn’t want to leave them so she decides to go with them, where Guido was afraid of. When they arrived at the camp, Dora was separated from Guido and their son. They were put into their respective camps and Guido cautiously hides Giosue from the Germans. When they arrived at a certain place at the camp, Guido tells his son that all of those things that they were going to go through were only a part of the game, and the one who wins the game earns 1000 points and earns a tank. Giosue happily believes what his father tells him and plays the game with the conditions that was given to him. With the days becoming quite dangerous and problematic, Guido felt it was no longer safe to play around with his son. So he decides to make sacrifices to protect Giosue and let him meet with his mother once again. At one time, Guido tells Giosue to hide in a certain place so that no one could find him because in the game, Guido tells Giosue that everyone was looking for him. At the final moment, Guido still managed to make his son laugh by imitating some Nazi guards as if they were marching together. Then Guido sacrificed his life to protect his son so that the Germans would not find out where his son was and got shot dead. After a while, Giosue gets out of his hiding place and found Americans going in the camp with tanks, and with that Guido was so happy because he thought he won.
The Love of the father to his family especially to his son was quite remarkable. It is because; the father did all he can just to let his young boy feel the comfort of life, instead of making him fell the fear that the others did. The father was exceptionally brave because of what he did during their stay in the camp. Who would be so daring like him? A true measure of one’s love to another is the way in which that person delivers it to the one he or she loves. In the movie, Guido risked it all just to protect his son. A lot of people today would also do the same just to protect their beloved. Love is a wonderful thing and it shows the real person inside you. All we have to do in order to do what you want or what you believe is true is to be true to yourself, and you’ll find out that you can be like what Guido was, a true person who did everything he can to save his son, and he did. A true person can do anything he desires because by being true, all the hindrances that you encounter will just be like the air: nothing.
