Movies were never meant to be just for the sake of time pass. But commerce and profit-driven movie industry have transformed this industry for worse. We don't see compelling stories. A large number of hugely invested mediocre movies shadows the quality works and they do not receive deserving recognition. Movies have different motivations and can be seen through different perspectives, but this film, this special film passed right through my heart.
It was a very insightful experience watching this special movie: 'It's a Wonderful Life'.
A movie that was a blend of almost everything. I am not sure what it was; tears of joy, ecstasy, or satisfaction, but I have the vivid remembrance at the end of the movie that my eyes were filled up with tears. The connection that it made was such an emotionally overwhelming that it's hard to explain. The connections of the movie I could associate to the story of my own: the regular troubles we face, the tragics we tend to avoid, and the setbacks that broke us apart. And it redefined how I should be viewing them. Such a magical power of a simple movie. It made me fall in love with myself. Just when the film was caught in the biggest riddle, it taught us the brightest lesson. I can remember the message echoing not only through my brain but through each fabric of my body. Am I exaggerating? I don't know. I have just finished watching this movie, and now my fingers love typing the words of praise for the movie.
It made me visualize my failures as an accomplishment, as an asset.
Now I find myself saying this: "I love this life more than anything. The trillions of cells that accompany me in this journey, each and every one of you tiny little creatures, I am thankful for the work you do to keep me alive."
I never assumed that a movie could make me feel this way. It made me feel the connection I hold with the people around me. My body chemicals must be feeling dizzy inside.
How awesome the creative personnel of the movie are, that they portray a brilliant book: The Greatest Gift by Philip Van Doren, in such a connecting way. Director Frank Capra and his style of presentation I was truly moved. I would be surprised if anyone could have justified the movie as the way he did. I have to say, indeed it is a wonderful life because we get to see such a wonderful movie.
How on earth can you act such brilliantly George( James Stewart)? (Donna Reed) Mary, she made me fall in love with her. I wonder where's the charm of such classic Hollywood movies now. Why we don't produce movies that are touching, compelling, motivating, and captivating among all.
It's priceless, timeless, flawless that made me write such a biased blog. I don't usually do this.
(Spoiler Alert)
The unfolding of the final lesson was the best part of the movie for me. Clarence shows George all the lives he had touched and how different life in his community could have been if he had never been borne? Near the end, George realizes he is no longer an unknown man without any identity but people recognize him and he runs across the town saying Mary Christmas like crazy to almost everything: from halls, buildings, boards to that Greedy old Man - Potter through that window. He feels jubilant to have his old and broken car back. He is thankful to carry the broken sphere of wood at the stairs, which he used to loathe. He literally kisses that thing.
Oh, wish, I would have seen it long ago. I could have felt much better in those hard days. I think I would be doing social service if I spread this movie. And it's completely worth it. So many lives can be touched, moved, and possibly changed with one movie, with one message, what could be better than this.
