But don't worry about your future when you do good deeds, life is still beautiful.

There are very few old movies that can make me cry, "City Lights", "The Bicycle Thief", "The General" and so on, "What a Wonderful Life" is a great and good movie. Before I read it, I felt that the name was very positive. In this smoky secular society, how beautiful is our life? It is possible that the good life is only in the art of the film. The background of the entire movie story only takes place in a small town called Bedford. It can be said that there is no grand scene. The timeline of George's life is used as the main line of the story to develop the plot. Of course, there are "good guys" and "bad guys" in a good movie. The chaebol potter is the only and most ruthless villain in the play, which impresses me deeply. His disgusting words and deeds run through George's life from beginning to end. , but also reflects George's kind-hearted personality and willingness to help others. A successful man, of course, also has a wife behind him. From the failed honeymoon plan, Mary planned their wedding night in a dilapidated old age.



In the end, when George was desperate and desperate, Mary gathered everyone for help for him. She has always been persistent, from the ignorant love in childhood to the unswerving love in adulthood, aside from the objective life, their love road is still very smooth. The most impressive clips are: Uncle George keeps a lot of animals, and the family life of his uncle is not mentioned in the film, presumably he never took it. Especially when George's uncle was crying on the table because he lost his money, the squirrel crawled on him as if to comfort him. There is also the fact that George and Mary finally made Granville their home. From the first time they moved in until the children were born, the handle of the stairs was always in a loose state, which should imply that the George family was only able to Ordinary families with food and clothing, including their cars, are much inferior to their neighbors. George has dreamed of going out of Bedford Town, Greece, Italy, South America, etc. since he was a child, he actually didn't want to settle down here, but real life is often cruel and objective factors have prevented him from stepping out again and again. but I think his life is a happy one, because he has a very good wife to accompany him, and he has a group of lovely children who bring him the joy of being a father. Gao Xiaosong said that the smaller the place, the more human nature can be reflected, because you may have been in contact with this group of people all your life, and you are dealing with this group of people every day. George is a kind person who has done a lot of good deeds. In the end, he also got good rewards. Kindness is a kind of nature, and kindness is a choice (although the film has religious overtones, I also believe in Buddhism). Don't ask about the future, everything has cause and effect, and many good deeds gather together to achieve perfection.
