Netflix: "Life is Beautiful"

Charlie Chaplin's clown goes to a Nazi concentration camp that is not much worse than the rest of the wide world, a place where pluck and intelligence can for a while hold off advancing night.  In the end, the Nazis are defeated, the Americans arrive on the scene, and the clown's wife and kindergarten-aged son, who were also prisoners, survive and are reunited.  If life were like that it would indeed be beautiful.
