Análise logoterápica do filme: " A vida é bela": o sofrimento de uma história com sentido.

Abstract

This work is an essay fruit of the analysis of the film "The Life is Beautiful" based on the theory proposed by Viktor Frankl. The film tells the story of a Jew who was taken to a Nazi concentration camp with his family. There your struggle is to make your little son not participate in that suffering. He then decides to tell the child that they are participating in a game in which the winner would win a real battle tank. Placing this narrative as an example of the theoretical concepts proposed by Logotherapy, the present study is justified by the rarity of works on resilience in this field. From that point of view, that is, to deepen our knowledge about the way in which one can overcome oneself through self-estrangement and self-transcendence in the face of pain and suffering. In order for this writing to become possible, dialogues were selected between the characters in the film, expressing the pure capacity to distance themselves and to resist with courage the worst circumstances imposed on the relationship between father and son in a scenario of catastrophe.
