Life Is Beautiful
Life Is Beautiful (La vita รจ bella)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_is_Beautiful
a good Italian movie that i came across, recommended by robbie je. now I remember that i watched it before..a really good movie.
"Possano le generazioni future liberarla da ogni male, oppressione e violenza e goderla in tutto il suo splendore"
This reminds me of George Orwell and his son.

"There is a photo, taken around 1946, showing George Orwell with his adopted son. The little boy, around two that time, was beaming, with unguarded delight. That boy, Richard Blair, was born 1944, the same year as the protagonist of 1984. It is not difficult to guess that Orwell, in 1984, was imagining a future for his son's generation, a world he was not so much wishing upon than as warning against. He wanted to make a change to his prophecy. It is the boy's smile, direct and radient, proceeding out of an unhesitating faith that the world, at the end of the day, is good, and that human decency can always be taken for granted - a faith so honourable that we can almost imagine Orwell, and perhaps even ourselves, for a moment anyway, swearing to do whatever must be done to keep it from ever being betrayed"
How i wish life is beautiful.

"The title is taken from a quotation from Leon Trotsky's last testament. While in exile in Mexico, knowing he was soon to be assasinated by Stalin's agents, he saw his wife in the garden and wrote:
- Natasha has just come up to the window from the courtyard and opened it wider so that the air may enter more freely into my room. I can see the bright green strip of grass beneath the wall, and the clear blue sky above the wall, and sunlight everywhere. Life is beautiful. Let the future generations cleanse it of all evil, oppression and violence, and enjoy it to the full."

life is beautiful when you have friends and family. they may not always be physically there, but what about in each other's hearts?
