Guido managed to keep Giosue in awes because he knew that tank was Giosue’s favourite toy.By creating wonderful fantasies over the hopeless situation, Guido swallowed down every moment of bitterness in exchange of his son’s ecstasy of becoming the winner of the “game”. Guido kept telling Giosue that they were in a game, a real-life competition which the winner would be rewarded a real tank.

It is obvious in the movie that Guido made no effort in showing his love for Giosue while in the concentration camp.įrom hiding the truth about the Holocaust events to sharing his hard-earned portion of food with his son, Giosue was showered bountifully with paternal loves. It will be a heavy encumbrance for Giosue to live through his childhood under the scornful and mocking eyes of the so-called superior Italians knowing that just due to the fact that he is a Jewish people.Like any other parents, Guido was no different in protecting his son from the ruthless and unwanted veracity. The exposure to the cruel reality would only tarnish his childhood. One of which is because his son, Giosue, did not have to be exposed to the unfair reality at such young age. There are many reasons that Guido was right about in concealing the truth over his son’s eyes. In my opinion, I think that Guido made a right decision in lying to his son that the Holocaust events were a just a game. Since Guido and his son, Giosue, stepped onto the train, not only they journeyed into the concentration camp they also voyaged into mountains of white lies which lied deep in the wonderful fantasies. Guido clearly knew that once they had disembarked from the train, there will be hardly any chance for them to return to where they belonged. In the second part of the movie, Guido and his son were obliged to board the death train that packed likes sardines towards the concentration camp.

The whole movie spirals around him at all times. In the movie “Life is Beautiful”, Guido, the Jewish- Italian, is the protagonist of the film.
