The 1946 film was at the end of World War II, and there was a lot of waste waiting to be done, so the film was full of positive energy, and it had a bit of a communist style. It is not recommended to enter, because it has a sense of the times, it seems that there are not many resonances that can be obtained nowadays. As if watching Lei Feng's films now, will you still be deeply moved?
The film tells about the glorious life of George Bailey. He advocates self-sacrifice, and I am friendly to everyone. At first glance, it seems to have some taste of communism. I don’t know if this film was affected by ideology during the Cold War. The prohibition, the film has a fantasy color, it should be regarded as the originator of American fantasy movies, and the later series of movies such as "Fake Gods" all have the meaning of learning from it.
George Bailey is a typical Lei Feng-type character. He lost his hearing in his left ear to save his younger brother when he was a child. Later, he recovered the medicine that the pharmacy owner misprescribed to prevent one person from dying; No room to live in, and then after his brother graduated from high school, he was going to travel around the world and go to college; unfortunately, his father died suddenly, he had to give up the opportunity to travel around the world and go to college, take over the company, and put his tuition for his brother to go to school ; After his younger brother graduated from college, he got married and went home and took over the business of his father-in-law's family. George's dream of traveling far was broken again. In order to maintain the construction loan company, he gave up a high-paying job opportunity, married Mary and lived on a low-maintenance family of $45 a month, but refused the high price paid by the capitalists to buy him. However, on Christmas day, because of the old man's negligence, there was a financial deficit of $8,000, which was bad news for him, and he began to doubt his life and tried to commit suicide. At this time, God heard the prayers of the residents of the town and sent an angel down to save George's desperate heart. The angel showed George the tragic situation he had never been born in. Only then did he realize his importance to other people's lives. The Christmas music and a peaceful atmosphere are coming to an end, but the question has just begun, what kind of life is a wonderful life?
Human nature is selfish and selfish. To truly achieve George Bailey, he in life He must have been overwhelmed by the pressure and comparison, and he would have exploded into a neuropathy or committed suicide by jumping into the sea. But at the end of the article, there is a sentence that is not bad, people who have friends will never fail, yes.

    This is definitely not telling you how good life is, but how important it is to build good relationships.

    【B+】This movie is very cliché. But what about vulgarity? This is probably the best movie I've ever seen in my life. James Stewart played the role of George Bailey so vividly that he really deserves to be an American national treasure actor. It is hard to imagine that there was such a forward-thinking movie in 1946. To this day, this film is still helping generations of people find the lost beauty in life, which is indescribably great! ! !

It's a Wonderful Life quotes

  • George Bailey: Rochester? Why Rochester?

  • Pa Bailey: I know it's soon to talk about it.

    George Bailey: Oh, now Pop, I couldn't. I couldn't face being cooped up for the rest of my life in a shabby little office... Oh, I'm sorry Pop, I didn't mean that, but this business of nickels and dimes and spending all your life trying to figure out how to save three cents on a length of pipe... I'd go crazy. I want to do something big and something important.

    Pa Bailey: You know, George, I feel that in a small way we are doing something important. Satisfying a fundamental urge. It's deep in the race for a man to want his own roof and walls and fireplace, and we're helping him get those things in our shabby little office.

    George Bailey: I know, Dad. I wish I felt... But I've been hoarding pennies like a miser in order to... Most of my friends have already finished college. I just feel like if I don't get away, I'd bust.

    Pa Bailey: Yes... yes... You're right son.

    George Bailey: You see what I mean, don't you, Pop?

    Pa Bailey: This town is no place for any man unless he's willing to crawl to Potter. You've got talent, son. I've seen it. You get yourself an education. Then get out of here.

    George Bailey: Pop, you want a shock? I think you're a great guy.
