So this is another black and white movie but, it was also a really good one. I can see myself watching this movie over and over again.The main characters in this movie is George Bailey,and his guardian angel Clarence Odbody.The main conflict in this film is that George is just not happy with his life. It seems that the bank he owns is going out of bussiness, his house isn't what he wants, and he married his wife after saying that he was NEVER going to get married. The life that George is living is not the life that he wanted. Then he gets a chance to see what the world would be like without him around. George's guardian angel magically takes George out of the world and shows him what he is missing.
The plot of this movie is definately make beleve their is just no way that someone's "guardian angel" can take them out of the world to show them how life would be without them. I am not saying that it wasn't a great film but realistically it is impossible.I really liked the dialouge in this movie because I feel that people always look at the negatives in there life and never the positives.In the movie the theme was that George's life seems to be getting worse and worse because it is from his point of view. After awhile you finally realize that it isn't cracked up that way.
The movie was made in a way that just showed us that people only focus on the negatives in their lifes. Its a heartfelt movie and the way they filmed it really proved it to the audience. When George Bailey isnt around it seems like everything is way worse for not only his family but the whole town. It just shows us that we never really realize how much of an impact we have on people. Like for example George married a beautiful lady named Mary, Mary did almost everything for him like a typically life in this genre would do. When he was not existing anymore he really realized his love for her. It just goes to show that counting your blessing does help.
I noticed alot of fade ins and outs, the movie was made this way on purpose because they wanted to show the different scenes and what was going on in the town without George Bailey.The effects in this film were nothing like the effects that we see in avatar but, they give you a warm feeling. I noticed that I was just cheering for George to realize that he is making a big mistake. Through the movie it is snowing. I think that the snow is trying to put a calming effect on the people who are watching it.I loved the acting in the movie George seemed like a real guy with real problems, his wife was madly in love with him and we could feel that. But the guardian angel just did'nt seem to real to me.
Personally the first thing that I noticed about this movie was how negative George Bailey is throughout the whole beginning it kind of makes me think twice about liking his character.I started to really enjoy the film when George started to become alot more grateful for the things that he was in his life. I seen a flinstones episode that copied the movies theme before so the whole movie was familiar to me. I think that A.F.I included this in their top 100 films because they knew how much of an impact it could have on someone who only thinks of the glass as "half empty". This movie is really inspirational to anyone that watches it.I recommended this movie to people who think that they have a terrible life because maybe after they watch it they'll see it's really not that bad.
