“It's a Wonderful Life”, raises and answers a question that all of us think of at some point of time: "What would this world be like if I had never been born?".
This socio-fantasy flick has got few of the finest romantic conversations ever , filming hilarious intellectual romance between James Stewart and Dona Reed.
“It's a Wonderful Life” tales the story of George Bailey (James Stewart), as a child, was selfless, risking his own life (and losing his hearing in one ear) to save his brother from drowning. As an adult, many of his personal pleasures and also he gave up his dreams of traveling the world and going to college ,to stay home and manage the Bailey Building and Loan Society after his father passed away. Throughout his life, George lived by a creed that always placed human need above riches, and, as a result, his only wealth was in his friends and family. He is always rational and humane in his approaches to people and very considerate in his banking business in spite of his tough, rancorous rival Potter.
Potter (movie giant Lionel Barrymore ), willing to do anything to get his hands on bailey’s property as it’s the only one which he doesn’t own in that city ,so he cheats, bribes and steals putting no end to the tussles , mutilates George. The troubles start affecting George here , though they have been there earlier. He tries a lot to come out the bankruptcy and from a case which was filed against him. So at dis point of time he gets vexed up and cannot grapple up with any more pickles .
On a fine day under the surveillance of the Almighty he decides to commit suicide. Here enters the angel which makes George to realise how life would have been there in the city and the people on absence of him. He finds the total city in the hands of Potter, with all commercial strands like casinos, Epitaph of his brother, his childhood boss in a desolate condition and few more sites that makes him to realize and as he returns home, he finds all his family and friends worried about him. He gets his troubles cleared up not by the omnipotent but by his family and friends.
It’s a favourite for both Capra and James Stewart, but it was a miscarry at the box office. It achieved its deserved recognition, albeit after four decades after it was first released.
