Tough question. I think the movie that had the biggest emotional impact on me was "Life is Beautiful." It's an Italian movie written by and starring Roberto Begnini. Begnini won the Best Actor Oscar in 1997...the first foreign actor to win the award. It takes place during the 1930s in Nazi controlled Italy and, later, in a concentration camp. Believe it, or not, though, it's quite funny (when it's not tragic). Hard to explain. Begnini's character reminds me of Charlie Chaplin's style of comedy. Definitely a movie about persevering.

Mothers' Day is generally a day of great joy, sadness, or a day of little emotion. Which is it for you? Why?
