Review of "It's a Wonderful Life" by David Terr
"It's a Wonderful Life" is one of my all time favorite films. The story, acting, and cinematography are all superb. The movie is very heartfelt and I usually cry toward the end. The movie teaches us an important lesson, which is to be thankful for what you've got, especially for friends and loved ones.
"It's a Wonderful Life" takes place in the fictional small town of Bedford Falls. The movie concerns the life of George Bailey, an extremely kind, good, hard-working man who always puts the welfare of his friends ahead of his own, despite his strong drive and desire to make it big and travel around the world. He ends up devoting most of his energy to fighting Mr. Potter, a heartless tycoon who is bent on buying the town.
One Christmas Eve, tragedy strikes when George's uncle Billy accidentally misplaces $8000 of his company's money, which falls into the hands of Mr. Potter. The bank inspectors come and it looks certain that George will go to jail for misappropriation of funds. On the verge of suicide, George contemplates jumping off a bridge into the freezing river below, when a strange old man appears and jumps in. George then jumps in to save him and the bridge operator lets them both in.
The old man then identifies himself as Clarence Oddbody, George's guardian angel, who'd come to save his life. Naturally George is skeptical, but Clarence ends up showing George what the world would look like if he'd never been born. For the next hour or so, George becomes aware of many horrors. For instance, the town is now called Pottersville, having been bought by Mr. Potter. No one recognizes him anymore and everyone he knows is considerably worse off. Eventually George runs back to the river and begs Clarence for another chance at life.
Clarence grants George his wish and George becomes ecstatic to have his life returned to him. He runs through the town yelling, "Merry Christmas!" to everyone, including Mr. Potter. In the end, everyone comes through for him, collecting large sums of money to keep him out of jail. The movie ends with a big celebration in his honor by all his family and friends.
