The end game tomorrow morning, at a ceremony.遊戲明早結束，舉行頒獎典禮。
今天又重新翻出這部電影來，又看了一遍。好電影，真的需要反覆咀嚼，反覆品味。影片中的父親、丈夫，是個極其樂觀向上的人，包括追求妻子，包括被納粹黨抓了之後對待兒子，再到死之前，從始至終，都是保持樂觀的心態。為了讓兒子不害怕，在那種環境下，編造了大段故事，來讓兒子安心。

《美麗人生》這部電影究竟是悲劇還是喜劇，不同的人有不同的看法。可導演自己卻說，不希望看到人們看完這部電影後流淚，換言之，導演願意把它當做一齣喜劇。可我跟大多數人一樣，看完這部電影還是流淚了，不管它的拍攝手法再怎麼喜劇化，我還是哭了。為爸爸跟兒子玩的遊戲，為爸爸最後走過箱子時的表演，為最後緩緩而來的那輛坦克。
這是一部值得反覆欣賞的影片！我相信任何認真看完這部影片的人所感覺到的決不是僅有的感動，更多的應該是震撼。不論在怎樣的社會，何種的環境，愛都是最有力的支點。感謝他最後仍然用微笑為兒子的童年編制了一個圓滿和諧的謊言。
愛上這裡，知識一樣可以很有趣！
