Seriously...it's unreal

Rating: 10/10 (16 December 2003)

*Spoiler* When most people think of Christmas, they think of Santa Claus, lights, presents, Christmas trees, Jesus Christ, Mary, Joseph, etc. But, do you ever stop to think of the things that you're given? How much you're blessed? Not often. Yet, `It's a Wonderful Life' isn't like the common `happy go lucky' Christmas story. It brings out the fact that you should maybe stop and think of what you've been givenhow much God blesses your life, no matter how `rich' you really think that you are.
The main character in the movie `It's a Wonderful Life,' George Bailey, grew up in a small town with his father and little brother. Ever since he was a small boy, he'd wanted to get out of that town, so he got a job and saved up enough money to go to college, planning to travel the world. Yet, unfortunately, his father ended up dying around the time that he wanted to go to college, forcing him to take over the building and Loan Company that his father owned. So, he gave the money to his brother who then went to college instead. Eventually, he married his wife, Mary, and had four wonderful children. But, as he found out that $8,000 was missing and he could possibly go to jail, he kept thinking about how horrible his life washow his house was drafty, he had too many kids that he couldn't support and give wonderful things to, he didn't have a lot of money, he never went to college, etc.	So there's an angel who comes down to get his wings and shows George what his life would be like had he not been born. Needless to say, he realized that he touched a lot of people's lives and also realized how much he loved his family, how wonderful his children were and how grateful he was for his life as it had previously been.
Clearly, this movie is very wonderful, because it was voted #26 of 250. It takes a lot to jerk emotions out of the audience and that's exactly what this movie did. It made you a variety of emotions.
This movie not only found every emotion that it could, but it has good plot and a good moral. It contains every aspect that a great movie should possess and watching this movie would be worthwhile to anyone of any age.
