Well. I really never thought I would say this. But I need to be honest with myself. It's A Wonderful Life is my new favorite movie of all time. It's not the one I think is the most perfect, nor is it the one that I find the most rewatchable. But to put it simply, It's A Wonderful Life is the film that brings out the most emotion out of me. I haven't watched this in over a decade. But seeing it in theaters tonight resonated with me too much on an emotional level that it might as well have been my first time. I won't lie to you, this year has been the worst of my life, and I've almost lost myself to despair so many times. So seeing Jimmy Stewart's George Baily almost end his life and then be shown what life would look like without him hit me hard. I'm in a mixture of happy crying and sad crying but all I know is this. In my 20 years of life, no film has made me feel this way and gotten more of a reaction out of me. It gave me something no other film has given me. It gave me hope. Thank you It's A Wonderful Life.
