Life is Beautiful- A comedy?

The article on www.findarticles.com entitled "Nothing to Laugh About-Movie on Holocaust entitled 'Life is Beautiful'" written by Richard Alleva primarily focuses on the issue of why Life is Beautiful should not be a comedy. The author points out the reasons why the Holocaust is not to be something thought of as a joke as it took the lives of many innocent people. His main question is "does it deal with the Holocaust... [and] to be precise, is there a valid depiction of the Holocaust in this film?" Alleva gives many examples of why this topic should not be thought of lightly. He talks about Hitler and all the evil things done by him to explain the fact of how brutal and torturous concentration camps were. This article takes a critical approach to explain why the Holocaust is not accurately shown in Life is Beautiful and why this event in history cannot be taken with ease.
