Describe a foreign film you enjoyed. v. 1
Describe a foreign film you enjoyed. You should say: what the film was about who the main actors were where and when you saw it and explain why you enjoyed this film. Sample Answer 1: Well, whenever I think of a foreign film that I enjoyed so much the name ‘Life Is Beautiful’ pops in my mind. It is an Italian tragicomic comedy-drama film that was released in 1997. I watched this film in 2002 and this is one of the best movies I have ever seen. This film was directed by Roberto Benigni who also starred this film as the protagonist.   This film was about a Jewish Italian book shop owner who used his creative imagination to shield his son from the terror of internment in a Nazi concentration camp during the Second World War. In the film, Roberto Benigni acts as Guido. He is a humorous, talented and sharp person who comes to the city to start a new life. He has a natural talent to make the best out of each situation he encounters and he falls in love with a girl. Eventually, they get married and have a son. The film depicts the changing political climate in Italy and then shows that Guido, his wife and their son were taken to the Nazi concentration camp. As a loving father, Guido hides their true situation from his son and makes him believe that the camp is a complex gaming competition and they must win. The boy is totally convinced that the camp is indeed a gaming competition because of his innocence and his father’s brilliant performance. At the end of the movie the US force approaches the camp and rescue the captives and the boy was still convinced that he won the competition. His father is shot by a German soldier and till his death, he performs a character to reassure his son that he will be the winner and would win the prize. As I said Roberto Benigni was the main character of this film. Among other actors and actresses, Nicoletta Braschi acted as Dora and Giorgio Cantarini was the boy, Giosuè. I saw this films three times. I first enjoyed it with my parents when I was only 17. Later on, I watched in a Cineplex in our city and recently I watched it on my computer. This is considered as one of the best film ever produced and the plot of the story was so astounding that everybody loves it. It depicts the horrors of wars, love or a father, how we can confront our worse time and how can we become a winner even when we are forced to be losers. The story line, acting, compelling plot and overall presentation of the movie were so great that I picked it as one of the best 10 movies I have ever seen in my life.
