And...BOO!

Life is Beautiful was an interesting study on the true and sicere love of a father for his son. He tried to put a humorous spin on everything in that awful concentration camd so that the little boy would not despair and becoma afraid. Even as he marched to his death, he made it comical so that the boy would think it was a joke and would not realize what was going on.
His father not only sacrifced his own life to distract the guards away from his son, but he attempted to save the boy's sanity by hiding the truth from him of what was really about to happen. That way the boy could function well enough to survive and escape.
I believe it is the director's own story. He played his own father in the film if my information is correct.
