The Christmas habit that will never grow old

Rating: 10/10 (19 May 2006)

I'm 16 and last year, my Dad (who is NOT a great film lover in any sense) bought the DVD of 'It's A Wonderful Life'. When he almost ordered us all to watch it on Christmas Eve, i wasn't expecting to be amazed. By the end of the movie, when all his friends and family come together to help him, the tears came flooding thick and fast. I think it is a sad thing that I'm only 16 and that seeing such brotherly love between him and people who barely knew him was so strange to me. I cried not only for the happy ending, but for the fact that this movie, made less than 70 years ago and that the world it shows no longer exists. From now on, every year on Christmas Eve, that movie will be brought down from the shelf, because i think it is an important and thoroughly enjoyable film with an amazing moral: Everyone will get their Just Desserts one day.
