This entire film makes me weep like a child, particularly this scene. As a recovered alcoholic that just barely escaped death, I can entirely relate to what George is saying here. I hit 3.5 years of continuous sobriety yesterday. I'm eternally grateful for all the help that have I received and for that brief moment of clarity that allowed me to escape the depths of hell before it was too late.
I've cried enough these past eleven years. I used to love this movie and Christmas. Then this horrible country let my abusive husband get rid of me through the corrupt system of Child Protective Services including the corrupt judges and jackass cops. Just throw me in the street because I stopped seeing a deranged psychologist and he got back at me by calling CPS with a lie. Then they put my abusive husband's name on a child protective order and he gets me to push him so he can call CPS have me arrested and then thrown in the street and move a strange slut into my children's home. So I lost my children, my home and my life because I pushed my abusive husband and these CPS monsters had a case and that f---ing judge who kept saying "children need their mother" and then would look at the CPS bitches and say "come back in three months". The CPS witches would SMILE and say "Okay!" When I said they were lying in court they would throw me into a psych ward. Eleven years of hell so far. I stopped singing Christmas carols and songs way back then. I hate Xmas. I only watch the part of this movie where he almost kills himself until right before he goes home to his family.
Strange isn't it , each mans life touches so many others lives........when he isn't around he leaves an awful hole doesn't he ?......( Clarence from~ It's a Wonderful Life )
+T. Barrow that is my favorite quote from the movie... I feel like something snapped in me the first time I seen it..brought me back to life, sometimes we only exist and we are not really living, its a story of fiction surrounded by much truths. We all do touch many lives and leave a hole when we are gone ♥ thank you for sharing the comment ♥
Many times I’ve been in this place in my head.. feeling like you have nothing left or you don’t matter. It always touches me when he says “let me live again..”
I always cry at the same part of the film. When Jimmy Stewart says i want to live again please god let me live again. The tears start and I'm blubbing like a baby 😢
Crazy to think Frank Capra never got the due credit for such an amazing film. It bombed at the box office, mainly due to moviegoers not wanting to deal with such heavy topics in the movie so quickly after WWII having just ended. This was actually the film he dreamed of making his whole career and it disappointed him terribly that it wasn't as successful as he thought it would be... what a shame he never got to see what it became in later generations to so many Americans!
Just think though, because of that supposed failure, it allowed the movie to be shown freely on every television channel every year at Christmas. Had it been initially successful, it would have been more expensive to show and might never have become so readily available to so many people who needed to hear its message. Sometimes what we see as a failure, is really a miracle in disguise. 😊
That generation's loss it's our gain. They did not want to deal with this movie's message at the time. It was an emotional time for America right after WWII and I get that but we are the ones that truly gained so much with this movie. James Stewart and most of the casti if not all are no longer with us. But we have their images and voices to cherish forever.
I just lost my grandfather yesterday, and it’s been really hard for me and my family. For three days I felt there was nothing left for me… Whenever I hear him say “ please god let me live again” I always tear up no matter what mood I’m in. George may have had Clarence as his guardian angel, I believe my grandpa is my guardian angel. This movie is a legend and a true masterpiece that shows that no matter how horrible or how much pain or sadness your in, people believe it or not care about you. In fact this movie helped me with my grief so much in fact that I am healing little by little. I know that might be a silly thing to say, but this movie is a reminder for everyone who thinks they don’t matter that the truth is that they actually do matter.
@@annak.thomas8168 The best things we do we do with our eyes closed: kiss, cry and dream. (Huggles and snuggles and smiles with eyes closed) Subscribing to you, new friend!
My God…I am living this moment right now. I am at the end of my rope and I’m just barely clinging on to my faith in God. I’m facing an unmovable situation that only a miracle can overcome. But I do not regret it! On the contrary, I am so grateful to God and feel blessed in the knowledge acquired from this whole unpleasant ordeal. I am more intone with nature, life, animals, people, everything; God. Please pray for me as I do for all of humanity and for the TRUTH that has awoken so many patriots. God bless you all.
I’m still hanging on but God is present, I feel the positive Frequency Vibrate a positive Energy through me! I’m close to something incredible. God bless you all for your prayers and prayers and love to all.
@@geovannicastillo669he's an atheist, but Stephen Hawkings view on life was that "As long as there is life, there is hope, everyone has something they can do and excel at" That's a lot coming from a paralyzed man unable to even really live.
I met wards nephew Matt and had dinner with him., and I shared a snack with Jay Leno (same week with both) so I’m once removed having met both of those guys. My all time fav movie ❤
I remember my mother was pestering me to watch this every year and I never did and when I was a senior in high school I finally decided to try it and was like “ok holiday classic wow me” and by the end I was genuinely like “I can’t hate you!!!!” And me and my brother saw it for its re-release to celebrate the films 75th anniversary and it was an interesting experience.
My mother did the exact same and I’m so grateful for her exposing me from a young age to classics like this, James Cagney and Gary cooper. I find myself making movie references that even some retirees are too young to remember 😂
I would switch with The George Bailey if I could. It's about time we get a Womans' prespective touch and look on out into this world, from a woman who used to work at a Cemetery.
I watched it on Tubi, however and Idk why but they completely cut out all the parts where he if he hadn't been born . Up until you see him on the bridge saying he wants to live. Wth? Is up with that?
I had a dream last night that I had died. It wasn’t a horrible death and I wasn’t suffering. But I was sad that I would not be able to live again. Wherever you are and whatever you do, here’s hoping that you are able to enjoy being alive more often than not.
When George Bailey said, “BERT! WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT?! MERRY CHRISTMAS!” To make it more meaningful, he should have said, “BERT! WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT?! IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE!”
Screw this scene, screw this movie, and screw Christmas. nobody would give a s*** if I'm gone. I wish I could just pray my entire life away but I can't now can I
Why would you want that there may be more to this story that I don’t know about but I bet you would make everyone you know sad if you did that. I think Everyone is amazing and everyone is important in this world you my not see it but you may be the one to change the world one day. Maybe all you need to do is change your point of view I don’t know who you are but everyone is amazing including you that’s the one thing I do know. Also I’m sorry whatever you may be going threw is probably hard so sorry if i made it worse I hope it all works out I can’t believe I’m really watching this in June 😂
