“Life is Beautiful” is a film that is characterized by its comedy throughout the first half, meticulously interpreted by Roberto Benigni. Roberto wrote and directed the film himself and successfully tells the story of an Italian Jew. The struggle experienced by both the son and the father remains similar in the film and book "The Road". The second half of the film reflects the struggle of World War II. Guido and his son, captured by the Nazi guards, try several times to escape from the camps. Guido makes a lot of effort to hide his son from the Nazi guards like his father in "The Road". The journey of father and son and their struggle depicted in the post-apocalyptic landscape of "The Road" remains the same in the film. The drastic impact on civilization that has affected people's normal lives creates strong pessimistic undertones throughout the film and book. Both end with a ray of hope and improvement in their lives, but there is something innate before this ending. Many contrasting features include the comedic nuances that prevail in the initial part of the film. The film seems to be quite unpredictable in the beginning, with comedy dominating in the first half of the film. The fight and capture by the Nazi camps that appear in the second half of the film cannot be compared to the comedy that prevails in the first part of the film. “The Road” does not present this contrast between the comic and the tragic. Such a mixture increases the tragic effect. The father was always worried that his son would survive this disaster. The story remains serious in every aspect. The fight and capture by the Nazi camps that appears in the second half of the film is similar to the atrocities mentioned in "The Road". Compared to "The Road" there is a noticeable amount of optimism in the film. The story is from the beginning where the son and father are left in the most undesirable circumstances of civilization. The setting of the book is barbaric with the presence of cannibals while "Life is Beautiful" does not portray much deeper barbarism than that of "The Road". While both show the ruthless side of humans, the extent to which this is portrayed is different.
