It's a wonderful life

A movie that I would like to talk about has been one of my favorites since I was a little. It's a Wonderful Life is an ageless movie directed by frank Capra in 1946. The movie is based on a man named George Bailey, who resides in Bedford Falls, where he has lived since he was a little boy.  George marries his high school sweetheart and raises a family.

When things go extremely wrong at the bank George works at, he contemplates suicide. Standing on the edge of a bridge, George is met by an angel named Clarence who shows him what life would have been like without him, and it's a nightmare. Through these visions, George realizes how much his life did indeed matter, and how much his actions throughout his life affected and saved others. George pleads with Clarence to end the awful visions and to go back to the life he had lived.

After begging for his life, George's wish is granted and he is able to return home where he is greeted with love from his family and almost everyone in the town who has been positively affected by his life. George is awakened and feels like a new man who has been given a second chance at life, a life that he will never take for granted again.
