Man with big dreams has an epiphany

Rating: 9/10 (21 January 2017)

This feelgood movie continues to be warm and cozy, as it tells the story of a really good and honorable man who just wants to travel the world, but never gets the chance because of poor circumstances. Great acting (especially Jimmy Stewart), great villain, great message, and feelgood. While it's an old movie, it never gets old. The message is as current today as it ever was. We need to stop expecting a fairy tale life, so that we can see the beauty in the life that we have. I don't even with it was made in color, because I feel the black and white adds an extra layer of that special feeling of tradition. While the movie is two hours long, it never feels that long. I rate it a 9, but could have given it a 10.
