It’s a Wonderful Life

This is one of the most beautiful movies that I have even seen! It is a 1946 American classic fantasy comedy-drama by Frank Capra. It was not well received when it first debuted but it has withstood the test of time and gone on to become the “holiday classic of all classics!”

It features at cast of well-known character actors from a bygone era in American history (among them, James Stewart, Donna Reed, Lionel Barrymore, Henry Travers, and Thomas Mitchell).

The plot is as follows-

George Bailey has so many problems and is thinking of taking his own life. As we see the Angels in Heaven discuss George, we view his life in a series of flashbacks. “Each man’s life affects another life…” George has always put the needs of others before himself. We learn that “no man is a failure who has friends…”

There is a universal message in this film that God (SWT) is watching over all of us and wants the best for all of us. We see an example of this unfold in this movie. I highly recommend this film to all, regardless of religious orientation. It has contributed to my enlightenment!

It is available on YouTube and other Internet outlets as well as on compact disk and other forms of media.

Please enjoy the film.
