    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 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.

      "The point, I think, is the sheer callous inappropriateness of comedy existing within the physical reality of the camps -- even the imagined reality of a movie." - Salon.com

    "Oh, grazie! Grazie! Oh! Thank you! Sophia: I leave here the Oscar but I want you! I want to be rocked by the waves of your beauty! Come here!
    Thank you, thank you! This is a moment of joy, and I want to kiss everybody because you are the image of the joy. And "he who kisses the joy as it flies, lives in eternity's sunrise", that said the poet [William Blake quote]. And it is wonderful to be here, wonderful. I feel like - now, really - to dive in this ocean of gratitud... of generosity! This is too much! Your generosity is, uh... how do you say when the rain?... The... The hailstorm! It's a hailstorm of kindness, of gratitude for you.
    And really I would like to thank everybody that did the movie, because without them I couldn't fly with this movie. Everybody who did… the producer, the screenwriter Cerami, Elda Ferri, Gianluigi Braschi, Nicola Piovani, Vittorio Cecchi Gori, Harvey Weinstein, Miramax's people: thank you very much for what you did. And also I would like to thank my parents in Vergaio, in a little village in Italy. They gave me the biggest gift: the poverty! And I want to thank them for the rest of my life. Really, but thank you mamma e babbo [mom and daddy]. Thank you!
    And thank you for your love. Because if I am here it's because people loved the movie. So it's always a question of love. I would like to dedicate this prize to those - because the subject of the movie - those who are not here. They gave their life in order we can say "life is beautiful".
    And I would like to also say... a kiss to Giorgio Cantarini. Ciao Giorgio! The little boy.
    And because we are talking the love, Dante said: "l'amor che muove il sole e le altre stelle", "love who moves the sun and the other stars". Love is a divinity, and sometimes, if you have faith, like all the divinities, he can appear.
    That's why I want to dedicate this prize to Nicoletta Braschi [Benigni's wife]. Thank you!"

Anche se non è proprio di Napoli, ha lavorato e vissuto per molti anni a Napoli con il grande Vittorio De Sica, tanto da acquisire un chiaro accento Napoletano inconfondibile e da ritenersi lei stessa, Napoletana. C'è la citazione proprio su Wikipedia: it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sophia_Loren Poi è cresciuta a Pozzuoli e la madre era di Napoli. Diciamo che è una Napoletana nata a Roma :P

Honestly, Robin is sorely missed. His demise will never feel right to me especially given that he died on my 23th birthday and am a suicide attempt survivor.

You obviously no nothing of north America other than what you see in the movies. And not understanding his heavy accent has absolutely nothing to do with poverty. You must not understand this because you've never ridden a bicycle makes as much sense.

Fantastica la reazione di Benigni che sale sulle poltrone... solo lui poteva avere spontaneamente un'idea così geniale. Poi lui che salta i gradini e l'abbraccio: bellissimo! il discorso con la pronuncia italianizzata è stupendo a dir poco e poi vabbè.... l'ultima parte....

    Thank you, this is a moment of joy, and I want to kiss everybody because you are the major of the joy, and he who kisses the joy as it flies lives in eternity sunrise, say the poet. And this is wonderful to be here, wonderful I feel like, now really, to dive in this ocean of grazie above all your generosity, this is too much, your generosity is, uh, how do you say when the rain, the hailstorm, it's a hailstorm of kindness, of gratitude for you.
    And really I would like to thank everybody that did the movie, because without them I couldn't fly with this movie. Everybody who did…the producer, the screenwriter Cerami, Elda Ferri, Gianluigi Braschi, Nicola Piovani, Vittorio Cecchi Gori. Harvey Weinstein of Miramax people, thank you very much for what you did. And also I would like to thank my parents in Vergaio, in a little village in Italy. They gave me their biggest gift “the poverty” (laughs) and I want to thank them for the lesson of
