This reminds me of the first time I went back and read the original reviews written on the Godfather film.
Reminded me to skip the critics view and see the films for myself.
Perhaps you should watch this film with some older people and then ask them about the film. This is a classic in my book and I would dare to say many others of my age group.
After all, this is the story of a man's life. One who gave up his wants and dreams time and time again to help others. At one of the lowest times of his life, he gets the chance to see what effect his life had on the world and on the people around him.
If this film doesn't make feel good about life and maybe put a gleam in your eye, then I think you should check with your doctor and see what is wrong.
After all if a simple man like George Bailey can mean so much to a small town, where do I stand in this large busy world of today?
Happy Holidays to all..
