It's a Wonderful Life is about a young man George Bailey who has big dreams inherited his father's loan company after his accident death. He felt worthless and wishes he has never been born. And he was given an opportunity to see what would the world look like if he has never been born. I've watched Frank Capra's Mr. Smith Goes to Washington and It's a Wonderful Life. They both have a rather happy ending and make people feel like everything is possible. And I would say there are similarities in both of the film especially Jimmy Steward were in both of them. When George Bailey was in a conference room with Mr. Potter and try to convince other men not to crawl to Mr. Potter and keep his dad's loan company, it makes me flash back to when I was watching Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. Smith stood for hours and tries to talk through the congress men. I watched the color version on the weekend. I noticed some useless details I didn't notice when I was watching the black and white version, like the Baileys have a dog. But also, in the beginning, when George was little, he stops his boss from poisoning a boy. His boss has tears on his face which I didn't know. And George was beat to bleed... This movie is arranged so well that I am very impressed about how Capra was able to bring everything back after George goes back on to the bridge. The police was chasing him and when he arrives, everything goes back to normal. The details like Zuzu's petals and mouth bleeding just work so well together like a flow of creek even it involves reality and fantasy, fiction and nonfiction. The theme is also the most encouraging and heartwarming message. A man with friends is never worthless. ~It's starting to feel a lot like Christmas~ Rating: 9/10
