Abstract

Beautiful Life is a classic World War II work in the history of world cinema. The work not only shows the bravery and optimism of the main character's father in the face of destiny, but also its narrative structure presents the aesthetics and humanistic value of the movie, which is worthy of deep thinking and learning for future generations. The narrative structure of the movie's camera language does not use complex techniques, and is presented in the most down-to-earth way possible. This classic movie tells us to be optimistic in an unflinching way, and at the same time, the aesthetic characteristics presented are quite philosophical, which is an important way for us to understand the development of Italian cinema. This study starts from the perspective of the characteristics of the narrative structure, narrative mode and narrative rhythm of Life is Beautiful. The study interprets the aesthetics of the film and further explores the humanistic values carried by the film.
