Spielberg created scenes of almost documentary quality on black and white film in Schindler's List because he believed color would make it too terrible to watch. Roberto Benigni chose to make his Holocaust film in gaudy quasi-Technicolor with unnaturally rosy cheeks, bright pink dresses, and bright green horses. Its main character is a live-action cartoon, complete with slapstick humor, running sight gags, and broad yet deep romance. The result? Life Is Beautiful is more than gut-wrenching. The humor doesn't ease the horror of the Holocaust or make a joke out of it. Contrary to what some reviewers here say, the humor makes the reality of the Holocaust all the more grim in contrast.
