La Vita Bella (Life is Beautiful)
I just received dvd of this movie weeks ago. It is one of
the best films I have ever seen. It did move me at the final seconds:
Son(Joshua): "Mama! Mama!"
... (This is my story, this was the sacrifice
my father made. This was his gift to me)
Mother(Dora): "Joshua!"
Son: "We won!"
Mother: "Yes, we won!"
Son: "A thousand points to laugh like crazy about!"
"We came in first, we are taking the tank home."
... "We won! ----------"
To My Father

"It is not the darkness overwhelms brightness but the light shines
in the dark." --- "The Mission"
Forrest: "Sometime it would stop raining long enough for the stars
come out, and then it was nice. It was like the sun goes to bed
and down on Bayon. There were always millions sparkles on the water
like that mountain lake. It was so clean, likes there were
two skies, one on the top of the other. And then in the desert,
when the sun comes up, I couldn't tell where the heaven stopped
and the heaven began, Jenny, it was so beautiful."
Jenny: "I wish I could be there with you."
Forrest: "You are."
---- "Forrest Gump"
"If the monks were right, and nothing happens without cause, the gift of
suffering is let us close to God, teach us to be strong when we are waek,
to be brave when we are afraid, to be wise in the midiest of confusion,
to let go that of which we can no longer hold. The fianl victories are
won in our heart, not on the land or that."
--- "Heaven and Earth"
Sam: 'I love you, Molly, I will always love you.'
Molly: 'Ditto...'
Sam: 'It's amazing, that love inside you take me away... see you...'
Molly: 'See you...'

"Every man dies, not every man really lives."
--- William Wallace in "Braveheart"
(On Stirling Battle Field)
Home, the English are too many.
William Wallace: Sons of Scotland, I am William Wallace.
William Wallace is seven feet tall.
Yes, I've heard. He killed men by the hundreds. If he were here,
he could consume English men with fireball from his eyes,
and bolls the lighting with his ass.
I am William Wallace, and I see a whole army of my countrymen here
in defiance of tyranny. You ve come here to fight as free men,
and free men you are. What will you without freedom, will you
fight?
No. We will run and will live.
Right, fight you may die, run you'll live, at least a while.
And dying in your beds many years from now while you being willing
to trade all the days from these days to that for one chance, just one
change to come back here, and tell out enemy:
They may takes our lives, but they'll never take our FREEDOM.
" There was no certainty to the song anymore, the singer could
only be one voice against all the m
only surness. The one voice was the single unspoiled thing."
--- "English Patient"
JACK: "You're going to get out of this... you're going to go on
and you're going to make babies and watch them grow and you're
going to die an old lady, warm in your bed. Not here. Not
this night. Do you understand me?"
JACK: "You must do me this honor... promise me you will survive...
that you will never give up... no matter what happens... no
matter how hopeless... promise me now, and never let go of that promise."
ROSE: "I promise."
JACK: "Never let go."
ROSE: "I Promise. I will never let go, jack. I'll never let go."

(84 years later)
OLD ROSE: "Fifteen hundred people went into the sea when Titanic
sank from under us. There were twenty boats floating nearby and only
one came back. One. Six were saved from the water, myself included.
Six out of fifteen hundred. ...
Afterward, the seven hundred people in the boats had nothing to do but
wait... wait to die, wait to live, wait for an absolution which would
never come."
....
THE END.
