Tonight is the return of Olof the Anarcho-viking as we discuss one of his favourite films, “Life is Beautiful”.
We’ll discuss this one as we make another trek into Oscar-winning foreign films in fascist regimes after we made a pit-stop in Chinatown last week.
According to Roger Ebert, for star and director, Roberto Benigni, "Life Is Beautiful" is the role he was born to play. The film falls into two parts. One is pure comedy. The other smiles through tears.
This will be a fun discussion, as will our episode next week on “Logan’s Run” with returning guest, Dr. Dennis Foster.

Robert and I analyze popular movies from a Rothbardian/Anarcho-Capitalist perspective. We use movies as a starting point for people who may not be familiar with this way of thinking.
Discussion of the plot and decisions that characters make in relation to morality and violations of the non-aggression principle are our bread and butter.
We also will highlight and discuss any themes or lessons from Austrian Economics that we can glean from the film.
The point is to show what anarchy actually is with instances that are presented in film.
We publish at least once per week; and occasionally will do specials surrounding holidays or events (elections/olympics) and have guests.
