Holocaust Unit: Key Question and 'Life is Beautiful

  1. A tragedy is when something bad happens to someone/something which is remembered as a bad thing with either good or bad outcomes.
  2. The reason 'Life is Beautiful' is a tragedy is not because the movie was bad, but on what the movie was based on. The holocaust was a tragedy since millions of Jews and people died and history was scared by the remembrance of this war
  3. yes, there was humour in the movie
  4. A villain is usually port-raid as the bad guy in the story, for example the joker or lex Luther but in Life is Beautiful it would be the Germans. A hero is the good guy or guys who do good things to help other people, in Life is Beautiful, Guido dies saving his son and trying to find his wife. And the victim(s) are the people who are effected by it, so in Life is Beautiful, the victims are the Jews who are tortured and put in the conviction camp.
  5. Question 5 is in Question 4
  6. Guido plays one of the important roles, since its about him and his son Joshua who get taken to a concentration camp. The movie is based on there survival and Guido lying to his son to keep him safe and not to make him worry about if he is seen, he will be killed. Joshua and Dora, who are the son and wife of Guido, are the other main characters. The story is based on Joshua's story about how his father lied to him to make believe its just a game and in the end, died for keeping his son safe, and trying to find his wife and keep her safe.
