It's a Wonderful Life

It's a wonderful film! Listed in my top 5 favorites, It's a Wonderful Life truly is an amazing movie. The story of George Bailey whose dream of traveling the world ends when his father dies. With his father's death, George takes over the family banking business giving up his own dream. His life after that seems dull, and pointless, he has trouble supporting his family of 6. Ultimately George goes into depression and wishes he had "never been born." His guardian Angel Clarence comes and shows him what life would be like without George Bailey. George realizes he truly has a wonderful life.

All his life George dreamed big. He wanted to lasso the moon, travel the world, go to college to "see what they know". He wanted to move out as soon as he could. Unfortunately, he had to postpone his dream when his brother came home married, expecting help in the

family business. Bailey started a family, still planning to move out and live his dream. He was good at his job, and good as a family man. But despite his social successes, he still wanted to

live his dream. Until his business partner loses the envelope of money. Then he can't. Then he almost goes insane as he sees his dreams come crashing down before his eyes.

It is a brilliant depiction of defining the purpose of life; of seeing life as it should be seen.

It brings to mind the true meaning of life. It makes real the rash statement some people say, "I wish I'd never been born". This film points out how important each person's life is. We are all here in the world for a purpose, and if any of us stopped existing it would change

the lives of nearly everyone else in some way. If one stops and thinks about that we all would see the importance of our existence.

"It's a Wonderful Life" also shows how important family is. Whether it is a mother, father, husband, wife, a neighbor, or a friend. Family is always there to hel

p you through the rough times. George was there when his father died to take over his business and keep it from Potter's hands. Mary, George's wife, was there for him through his rough moments. Family is important, they are always there when you need them, through thick or thin

, better or worse.

This is a fantastic film and I recommend it for all ages!

5 out of 5 stars :)
