TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Guido's wife, Dora, is played by Roberto Benigni's real-life wife, Nicoletta Braschi.

Roberto Benigni's Oscar for best actor marked only the second time that an actor had directed himself in an Academy Award winning performance. The other was Sir Laurence Olivier for Hamlet (1948).

Roberto Benigni says the title comes from a quote by Lev Trotskiy. In exile in Mexico, knowing he was about to be killed by Iosif Stalin's assassins, he saw his wife in the garden and wrote that, in spite of everything, "life is beautiful".

Roberto Benigni was so excited to receive his Academy Award for Best Foreign Film that he stood up in his chair and leaped across several more chairs to get to the stage. Benigni made such a comical impression with his enthusiasm accepting his awards that when he appeared on stage in the next year's Academy Award's ceremony to present the nominees for Best Actress in a Leading Role, the show's host, Billy Crystal, playfully appeared behind him with a large butterfly net, seemingly ready to restrain Benigni if he got silly again.

Roberto Benigni's Oscar win for Best Actor was the second time a performance completely in Italian had been awarded. The previous winner was Sophia Loren for Two Women (1960).

Popular Dialogues

"Bartolomeo: They are looking for someone who speaks German, to translate their instructions. Guido: Me! I'll do it, I'll translate! Bartolomeo: Do you speak German? Guido: No."

"Guido: What are your political views? Tappezziere: [speaking to his two sons] Benito, Adolf! Sit down! Sorry Guido, what did you say?"
