"It's a Wonderful Life" was a better movie than you thought.

Its that time of the year again, no im not talking about finals, im talking about the holiday season. Its unbelieveable how modern christmas movies all focus on all the materialistic bullshit and little kids opening presents. Its like when i am done watching them i want to go shopping....what the fuck is that? Christmas for some people has nothing to do with santa claus and infact it is a time of trials and tribulations, heartache, depression, and overcoming obstacles armed only with hope. This is what the movie "Its a Wonderful Life" is all about. This isn't a movie review because i hope you all have seen the movie. This is a list of all of the things that standout about this movie.

If your favorite movie is missing these things then you are watching the wrong christmas movie pal. Im not even lying, watch the movie and i dare you to call me out on any of these that you think weren't a part of this movie. The beautiful thing about this movie is with all the bad stuff that happens throughout the movie in the end it is "George Bailey's" friends that come to his rescue and pool together what little money they have to help him financially because he always was unselfish and did whatever he could for them. This movie is all about what Christmas is supposed to be about: giving, sharing, realizing your flaws, praying, forgiveness, friends, love, and coming together in times of need. Not bargain shopping and sitting on a fat old guys lap and telling him what you desire- no offense santa
