    Il discorso di ringraziamento più bello nella storia degli Oscars. Dall'euforia, all'umiltà di quell'inchino, passando per l'inglese maccheronico fino all'apoteosi della citazione dantesca per dedicare il premio alla moglie...è un tripudio di italianità! Non si era mai visto! E non credo si rivedrà! La battuta sui genitori e la povertà è di un lirismo pazzesco. Il primo attore, non di lingua inglese, a vincere poi l'oscar per la migliore interpretazione ( la prima in assoluto fu la Magnani e poi la Loren!). Questo perché noi italiani, se vogliamo, quando c'è talento, sappiamo essere universali e arrivare a tutti.

    It's sad to see some of the critic reviews for this film, calling it completely inappropriate and nauseating through its mixing of comedy and war drama. My interpretation of it was that it shows a man putting his own fears aside to try and stay strong for his family. It uses the extreme end of terror to show that the love for family has no limits and even something as terrifying as the Holocaust won't diminish his love.
