      I belive it, the guy is a genius!
      To come out with the idea to make a movie that touches such a sensitive theme as the holocaust, (you already know there's going to be drama) but the way he managed to include comedy in this masterpice, without hurting sensibilities, and in such a beautifully touching way, is just magical! ... And then to win an Oscar for best foreign film, in a time where most movies have to include sex scenes, or faul language to be relevant!!
      Like I said, a genius!
      I can't thank God enough for people like him, that with their art, creativity and particular vision of life, make this world a much better place.

    I am Italian and I can assure you Benigni is very fluent in his own language and an erudite man. He has a very strong Tuscan accent, but I personally never heard him say a word in dialect. He has a very deep knowledge in Italian, speaking it perfectly. So, I don't quite understand why, when he goes on American shows, he pretends to be how in USA people imagine the "classical Italian" - I think that accent in English to be fake. He can speak English much better, he does it on purpose.

      Benigni's English is perfectly fine. The last person I heard to say "quell" as in "I fail to quell my enthusiasm" (00:38) was Jeeves by Stephen Fry. Benigni's accent is caricatured of course, that's what the American public expects and welcomes in a funny foreigner. He plays the part and, surely, gets his kicks from this little deception.

      here on youtube there is an extract from an old canadian interview (I believe from 1993) where he explains that they used to give him parts with thick italian accents and he just went along and kept it... in that interview he speaks with a noticeable italian accent as well, but the difference with his most famous english bits is huge

    Roberto has the beautiful soul of a child,whoever hasn't seen that, doesn't know what he's missing..This is how he is in reality and that's how he was able to put his real essence in "Life is beautiful".
    He graduated in literature and he's extremely smart but he'd rather show the light side of himself, in a way I think he shows to people that it's better to be silly and laugh bc life is sad enough at times,that's how "life is beautiful" and in my opinion it's a wonderful way of living!

    I wish I could be more like him. He's so comfortable with himself and other people, not fazed by society's opinion or the media (also, whoever thinks this guy is stupid needs to listed to his rendition of La Divina Comedia and shut up). He must have twice the pressure of your typical person, and yet look at how happy he is! Everytime I see him on T.V. or in movies, I can't help but have a smile on my face. We love you Roberto!

    One of the best actors ive ever seen, you see i was born in italy because my father was deployed from the military. So living in Italy for 10 years, i just loved it and its the main reason why i know of things that many others dont or others were not born with. Life is beautiful is the only reason i love this guy, and after watching Pinocchio, i finally had the chance to know who this guy is, one of the best actors ive ever seen so awesome!! You see im not that old, im only 19 years old and because of my family, im glad im oldschool and i didnt end up liking all of this trash that others like, i might be the adult outside taking college courses, doing a lot of work. But im still the child inside no matter how many years pass by!!

How can you not smile when you see Roberto’s exuberance for life.

    It’s funny when Roberto is asked about his quiet moments. He says: I am a very verklemmt Boy. Verklemmt is German and means something like deadlocked. Wich is a very good description about us Germans. So Benignis’ quiet side seems to be very German. I feel very honored as a German. 😊

      LesPaul1482 You don't understand. Benigni is a icon for Italians. He represents the best of the Italian spirit. He is also very much politically involved and he has been a symbol of what is good in Italy against other internationally known people like ex prime minister Berlusconi that just brought ridiculous to the reputation of Italy. This why we are so proud of Benigni.

      I'm Italian ... I hate Benigni ... it does not make me laugh, for me it's like a puppet that represents the falsity of the Italian that disguises itself as a low quality comedy. Today he is politically involved and we do not actually see him on television because he is no longer welcome. Pinocchio is a bad story, worthy of the worst of Italy as Benigni ..
