It's a Wonderful Life has been on my top ten list of favorite movies for a long time. I try to watch it every year, which is more than I watch most of my favorite movies. The film, to me, is almost perfect. I'm not going to talk about the details of the plot. If you haven't seen it then do yourself a favor and TIVO it next Christmas or go put it in your Netflix que.
There are a lot of reasons why I love this movie, but the biggest is because I want to be George Bailey. A man of high ideals who constantly puts the needs of his friends and family before his own. His wife loves him unconditionally with great passion and devotion. He is generous to a fault and believes in the good that is in all of us. He is willing to stand up for the little guy and be firm with the big guy, all while risking everything he has to do what is right. He is fearless. He is funny. He is inspirational. He loves his wife and his children. He is human. He has a wonderful life and doesn't even know it.
I want one too. I want to be George Bailey.
