	Life Is Beautiful (Italian: [[La vita è bella]]) is a very touching 1997 film about a writer named Guido Orefice ([[Roberto Benigni]]) and his family being sent to a concentration camp during last years of World War II (1944-1945). ~~Some~~ of the film was based on Benigni's own family during the war where his father had survived three years in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in modern day Lower Saxony. However Bergen-Belsen was liberated by the British 11th Armored Division while the camp in the film was liberated by Americans. The film was well received, was a financial success, and won the Best Music, Original Dramatic Score, Best Foreign Language Film, Directing, Film Editing, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Picture awards at the 71st Academy Awards. ~~The~~ film has also received some criticism for what some call "misplaced humor".
