If I fall at Christmas again in sentimentality, I switch the TV on again like to please me to old black and white films. So it came to pass also to the time when no snow fell, but I opened the program guide and the movie "It's a Wonderful Life" the optimum evaluation discovered. In addition, James Stewart played with one of my favorite actors, and the film was shot in the 40's, so promised a certain charm. I congratulate myself today to the decision to have discovered this gem. The film conveys an atmosphere as they bring about only a few works. The action does not run simply stupid straightforward and without comment, but is as it were, under the watchful eye of God and an angel, who view the past life George Bailey based striking times. Here, the sheet to the core of the film is spun at the beginning, because more people pray for help for George, who wants to kill himself on Christmas Eve. It's beautiful to see how the extremely unengelhafte angel Clarence shows George, would like life surrounding him like if he, who would supposedly useless, does not exist. It is found in a wonderful, haunting manner that blessings can come from one man. In this sense, the film strength and meaning of life, the individuality and the quality of each audience in mind and at the same time fulfills a wish that many manchmal- often ängstlich- cherish: to see what life was like without him or her would be like. And any hopes that somehow it would be a little less beautiful without him, that causes even something that you can continue wearing love and fellowship. Especially the affirmative, although the film also kompromisslos- cheesy but always so, that his charm attracts us firmly in its spell. And then even if there quietly the snow falls and you're sitting with a warm chocolate in front of the TV, you feel very lucky just to be there.
