IntroductionAfter seeing a film, different people have their own opinions. It is the magic of a movie. There are many films that describe the WWII, many of which emphasize on the inhumanity of Nazi. Those films are filled with sanguinary scenes which express the slaughter. In many peoples impression, the Second World War is a horrible memory especially for the Jewish people. The audiences had seen the bloody scenes again and again.However, the movie Life Is Beautiful uses a different angle to reveal the war. It uses many scenes to describe the human feelings and the beautiful relationship between a husband and his wife, a father and his son. After seeing the film, you will find that some people are happy, and some will be sad. The writer does not know what feelings the audiences have after watching the film, but the writer is really sad. And she finds the qualities of a perfect man from the actions of the hero Guido. As a husband or a father, Guido is perfect. He is a successful image. So, I think perfect man should not only be successful in career, but enjoy building happy families with their family members. And they should be the superman and spiritual mainstay for his wife and the protective god for his children. 2. Analyses of Life Is Beautiful2.1 The background and main plots.The film Life Is Beautiful tells us about the Jewish life in concentration camp of Nazi which was the most remarkable picture in the world war. In 1939, in Italy, a Jewish bookkeeper named Guido starts a fairy Tale life by counting and marring a woman. When Guido moves from the country to a large Tuscan town where he falls in love with a teacher, named Dora. Guido is very humorous and smart, so at last. Dora abandons her fiancé and chooses Guido. Guido is married to Dora and they have a son called Giosue. Because they are all Jewish; Guido and his son are sent to a concentration camp. And his wife follows him. She deeply loves Guido. But, the man and woman are separated in the concentration camp. In order to have an entire family and help his son get rid of the horrors of a Jewish concentration camp. He finds a special ways to communicate with Dora. Guido tells his son, this is only a game, and the prize is a veal tank for the champion.So, at the end of the film, his son Giosue cheers: “ I really win the tank.” Life Is Beautiful wins the Oscar Globe statuettes and other twenty-eight International awards. There are many good words for this film. It is timeless in the history of films. It manages to educate the audiences with its potent combination of humor, wisdom and dignity. The actor Roberto Benigni has taken a so beautiful story for us. He tells a true love story between a man and a woman, between father and a son. The film is a black humor. Benigni manages with his wise and simple performance to make the audiences laugh in the tragic situations.2.2 Difference between Life Is Beautiful and other films describing Jewish lives during the World WarMost of films had described the lives of Jewish during the World War. Schindler's list is the most famous are by Steven Spielberg. No such a piece of art has ever before combined laughter with tears of sadness in and after the movie. After watching the film Life Is Beautiful, the author found that it has less to do with the Holocaust and more to do with the human feelings and pure relationship between a husband and his wife, and his son.Life is really beautiful as you watch Guidos relentless efforts to make a lovely exciting experience of the concentration camp to his son. The film brings the audiences to a state of mind away from reality, focusing on the feelings generated by forgetting about all external events and developments of the war. You get exhausted just watching Guido going through his painful day and his humor words make you smile as he speaks to his son.2.3 What a family should be?Irvng Washington, father of literature of the united states said; “it was the policy of the good old gentleman to make his children feel that home was the happiest place in the world. And I value this delicious home-feeling as one of the choicest gifts a parent can bestow.”As we know, a family begins with a man and a woman, each created in the gods image. A family should be a place where you can go, no matter what you have, done wrong and still be loved by your family members. And the man plays the most important role in a family. Because one father is more than a hundred school masters. So, there is no doubt that family should be in the most important position in everyones mind.A new family, it means they are born again. the marriage helps us understand how a family life should be. And the couple should be loyal to each other. The husband serves his wife by giving. This does not mean he becomes her servant and jump at her every back and call. Rather, he serves her by loving her-be her reliance and spiritual mainstay. He admires her talents and abilities and “praises her”. And you must believe that he loves her more than himself. Not only does he tell her that she is a treasure for him, but he tells other people what a wonderful wife he has. For many families, theres just a fixed pattern of non-communication when schedules differ and watching television absorbs the little time they might have together. As a man, to make your family more happy. And in a family father should be the protective god for his child. No matter what happens, he should love and protect his children. You can not think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a fathers protection. The prodigal son left his home, squandering all his money, yet, when everyone else had turned away from him, his father still welcomed him home with open, loving arms. So, a family like a sheltered harbour, you can throw into her arms when you tired. A family like honey can take sweet to you. A family like the god can make your wish come true.3. How to become a real man.As a real man, he should not only be successful in career, but also maintain his family to be happy and harmonious. Man has been endowed with many titles: son of parents, manager of the company, leader of the society and protective god for children.3.1 The Whole Image of a Man.The man should be a kind of responsibility. A kind of responsibility towards society, towards wife and towards children. First of all, as a man, he should play an important role in the society. To some degree, mans influences in society is big. Everybody plays different kinds of roles during different periods all through his life. And different roles have different responsibilities. There is no doubt that man is requested to undertake more in the society, many of them are considered to be the ridgepole and mainstay and should be ready to contributed to the country all the time. And they are also the mainstay of the family; he should take care of parents.3.2 Mans Social Image and Responsibility.Men in the socity play an important role; they will face more pressure. In our country, the most important positions almost belong to men. In a company, men also play important roles. They are managers, directors or principals. The more important position he has, the more pressure he undertakes.How to make our society more beautiful? As an ordinary man, just doing what he can do is all right. Everyone has his certain position and responsibility. Not only should the leaders and managers pay attention to the development of the society, but also everyone should try his best to contribute to the society.3.3 Mans Family Image and Responsibility.An integral family consists of a man and a woman, in order words, of husband and wife, of parents and children. And different family members play their own roles in the family. We have discussed that the man plays an important role in the society. In the writers point of view, the mans family image and responsibility is more important.Its well known that only one person cant compose a family. No matter how successful the man is in the society, he is also a failure without an integral family. A perfect man should pay more attention to building a harmonious family with family members and should be the reliance and spiritual mainstay for his wife and the protective god for his child.When two persons fall in love with each other, they will begin to compose a new family for their own. And an ideal husband can give his wife the feeling of safety and credibility. When a man is married, many of his faults will be exposed day by day. The husband should be capable as well as practical, and at the same time be considerate for his wife. Namely, an ideal husband should do well both in career and in family. Moreover, he should also be the reliance and spiritual mainstay for his wife.In family education, women are considered to be more important. They take care of the children and educate them since the babies are born. But in the writer Roberto Benigni s opinion, father could not keep away from family education. Its reports that most of the Nobel Prize winners are influenced by their fathers deeply since their children. The image of father is considered to be important in the formation of the childrens personality. With the accompany of the father, the children will become more tough and more brave. To be a successful father and the protective god for the child is also an essential qualification for a perfect man.4. Some important choice.4.1Which one is more important between your family and career?It goes without any question that career plays a key role in our life. In the first place, career gives us an aim to live on. If we have no career, much time will be wasted. Whats more career can provide us with a means to live on. Most of the people get their income from a job. On the other hand, family is also an indispensable part of life. Family is always regarded as a place where people can escape from troubles in life.Nowadays, it is a society filled with money and power, many people, especially the men pursue them at all costs. Family can be regard as a hotel in their eyes. But in fact, no matter how rich a man is, he can only live for several decades. Its said that the significance of the life is not measured by the length but the depth that counts.So, in the writer Roberto Benigni s opinion, the career and family are not in opposition to each other.4.2 How to communicate with indifferent and rebellious children?More and more parents find that their children indifferent and rebellious. In their opinion, they have speed much money in supporting their education, and the responsibility for training the children have been passed to the schools and teachers immediately. Most of them dont realize that its the defects of the family education. Taking about the defects, we can summarize them as the following points.Firstly, ignoring the establishment of the personality of independence. For example, when a Chinese child gives his drawing to the parents, he will ask:“ You see, is my picture like or not?” But the foreign child will ask their parents: “Is my picture good or not?” Although, there is only one word different between two sentences, but it has large distinction.Parents are the first teachers for the children, so, how to teach their children is very important. When the task of education turns into their responsibilities, what kind of result the next generation will face is distinct. In the writers opinion, the Chinese children have penetrative understanding and feeling; its not the fault of the parents, but defect of Chinese family education system.Secondly, father is far away from the family education. In Chinese traditional culture, men are considered to support the family; they are free from the childrens family education. In the childhood, without the help of father, the children will become timid. But there is another phenomenon in other families that men really take part in family education, but the methods are not advisable. They hold the idea that good children are trained by the stick. It is a terrible transmigration that the children are trained by caning and they will use the same methods to train their children after being parents.The parents should find problems from themselves instead of blaming the children and teachers. Family is the responsibility for every member; men should not be free from family education. In fact, father plays a more important role in the formation of the childrens personalities. Men have been endowed with many crowns in the world, but the crown of father should be the most important one.4.3There are some methods for fathers to teach their children.The writer pays more attention to the image of a man as a father and the audiences can learn some useful methods from the hero Guido. The Jewish people have their special ways to train their children. As everyone knows that Jewish people are the wisest people in the world. The population of Jewish people shares of only 0.2% in the world, however, owns nearly 20% in the Nobel Prize winners, which wins respect from other people. It has deep connection with their education style, especially their family education. From the film Life Is Beautiful, the audiences can learn some different ways to teach their children.As a Jewish father, firstly, Guido is humorous. He always makes his son laugh. They make fun of themselves using their own laughter, purifying their soul, alleviating pain and sufferings, entertaining mind and body, pursuing dignity of
