This movie is just a classic, and it's just my cup of tea. Actors and actresses that speak with an attractive accent and charisma, songs, funny antics and just pure romance. ( well a little kisses now and there, but it's still bearable....)
This movie really reminds me to be thankful and grateful of who we are, and the greatest gift that God has given to us-- our life. James Stewart is such a man that always puts others interest above oneself. He had a wonderful family, but one day he faced a major financial crisis that simply just tore his hope away. He began to reflect upon his oh so pity life........ One of his ear went deaf, he couldn't make it to college, he missed the chance to travel around the world, and the list goes on and on........ He also took this anger upon his family. Depressed, he went to the nearest bar and got involved in a fight. He eventually seek help from God to show his THE WAY. Which brings us to the very beginning of the movie, where a conversation took place between a group of angels, where Clarence, a second class angel ( LOL ) who haven't " earned" his wings was summoned too go down to Earth to stop James Stewart from committing suicide. As James was preparing for his " final destination", Clarence pretended to be drowned, and James being James saved him, and Clarence " saved" James too! =)
To remind James of his wonderful life, Clarence showed him how everything would be without him. It was horrible, his hometown was a place of immoral activities, his friends couldn't recognized him, he had no wife, no children, his brother died as he was not there to save him, his mother was a bitter widow, and put it in plan words, it was a DISASTER!!!!
James soon realised that he had a wonderful life, and it would be so foolish to give up his life just because of a financial debt of 8000 dollars. He quickly went back to the bridge and shouted " I want to live again" And live he did, he got back his wonderful life! Back at home, the officers are prepared to arrest James as he needs to go to jail. But James was overjoyed that he couldn't be bothered about it. His wife, Mary returned with the people of his hometown giving their money to support him. Even his friend in New York, Sam sent him money worth 25 000 dollars!! James Stewart is now the richest man in town!! Towards the end of the movie, the crowd sang Auld Lang Syne , as Clarence earned his wings!! =)
I was so close to crying as the movie ends! =)
