Have you ever found beauty in life, even during difficult times?
Here's a movie called Life is Beautiful. The story happens in 1939. Orefice, a young man, is a Jew(犹太人). He's funny and clever, and falls in love with an Italian girl named Dora. Later, they marry and have a son named Joshua and run a bookstore together.
Unluckily, they and many other Jewish families, are taken to a concentration camp (集中营) by German Nazi(纳粹党). In the camp, Orefice explains to Joshua that the camp is a game and he must perform the activities. Orefice also tells his son each of the activates will give them ports and the person who gets to 1,000 points will win a tank(坦克). The most moving is that the people in the camp also keep the lie(谎言) to themselves. Orefice tries hard to protect Joshua's innocence (天真). He even teaches all of the German children how to say "Thank you" in Italian. Though Orefice is killed at last, Joshua is alive when the allies (同盟军) arrives.
The film shows us how to protect those we love in the face of difficulties. As the French writer Romain Rolland once said, "There's only one heroism(英雄主义) in the world: to see the world as it is and to love it." And this best describes the life and actions of our hero, Orefice.
