I loved this film so much that I considered learning Italian just to be able to watch it in the language it was filmed in. I think that all films (like books) lose something in the translation but the English version is called Life Is Beautiful and I have been told that it is excellent as well. I certainly enjoyed the Spanish version (La Vida es Bella) like I have enjoyed few other movies from any country.  However,<a href=\"http:\/\/www.listenandlearn.org\/italian\/\"> if they are taking <a href=\"http:\/\/www.listenandlearn.org\/italian\/\">Italian lessons London<\/a> students can supplement them<\/a> by watching this 1997 classic from Roberto Benigni in the original language. The music is pretty good as well if I remember rightly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cidade De Deus<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is a Brazilian movie so it was shot in Portuguese. I watched it with Spanish subtitles when I was first learning the language and got really confused. It is a hard hitting story of crime and life in Rio. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.listenandlearn.org\/portuguese\/\">If you want to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.listenandlearn.org\/portuguese\/\">learn Portuguese London<\/a> is a great city to do it<\/a> in and this film is going to help you immensely. Given the setting and the type of action I would assume that a lot of the language is slang and maybe hard to understand but, hey, that\u2019s just part of the fun with foreign flicks.  <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/pontecine.lafactoriadelaradio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/bso_la_vida_es_bella_la_vita_e_bella-frontal1-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>La Vita e Bella I watched the Spanish translation of this multiple Oscar winner but it is, of course, Italian.
