You donÌ¢‰â‰ã¢t mention Life is Beautiful, the groundbreaking film.

This film is proof that a blanket taboo is inappropriate. I viewed the survivor piece from Curb Your Enthusiasm and that just passed my litmus test, because in the TV survivor is appropriately trivialized. Heeb magazine is another case.
