its a beautiful life

The other day I saw this movie called "It's a Beautiful Life", and it was about a family that lived during the holocaust. It was fictional, but it was still such a wonderful and yet tragic story!

As you know, during the holocaust they separated the men and women, so they didn't show much about the mom; most of the movie was about a dad and his kid (who was probably only about 5).
When they were captured and sent into this concentration camp, the little kid wanted to know why they were there. The man told him that it was all a game that he had signed the family up for, and every day they would earn more and more points, and if they won they would get a huge surprise!
It was just so sad and yet so lovely that the man told his son that, because it showed how much he loved his son that he wanted to shield even the thought of Nazism from the kid's head.
So in the duration of their stay in the concentration camp, the little kid believed that it was all a game and that his dad was making more points every day and the little kid did everything he could to help him.
Then one day the dad told him that they were in first place, and that he had to do was hide all day and come out only when no one was around, and they would win the prize, which he said was a huge tank made just for them.
The Americans were coming. The Nazis in the camp killed as many people as they could, and they left in a hurry. When they were gone, the kid came out of hiding, and the first thing he sees is this huge American tank roll up! And he's like, "hey! my dad won us the prize!"
And he got rescued.

In the midst of despair, a man made life a whole lot easier for his son by just playing that little game with him.

It's an amazing movie.
