Lets see... Oh yes I have
been coherced to write a review of It's a Wonderful Life. I have
never actually watched the full movie technically, although I acted as
Violet Bick in a community theater play. I have yet to get over that
enough to finish watching the actual movie. That and I have this
thing against Jimmy Stewart. Maybe he's just to decent and American.
I think I like my characters very good and/or very interesting. Don't
get me wrong I like amazing characters who are good amazingly so. But
I have difficulty in many cases with boring good characters. This is
not fair to Jimmy Stewart I will admit his character in here was
fairly well drawn and interesting enough. I can see why the movie is a
classic. The message of the story is very good and somewhat
empowering (I am not certain if empowering is usually a good thing. I am not a believer in self confidence at all costs. Sometimes we all can be dumb and we should learn of it).
Maybe I can not
understand someone who is so friendly and likeable. I mean likeable.
That is what Jimmy Stewart is likeable. Likeable. It feels like they are trying
to take away my free will by trying to force me to like them. Then
either I end up liking them or hating them for the attempt. Jimmy
Stewart really is neither. I just do not care for his character that
he always seems to play. Although I do hear he tried to get out of
the nice average American man role that he always played towards the
later part of his career.
So I was supposed to
write about It's a Wonderful Life. Well to be completely frank it
bores me after we go through his life the first time. When he starts
freaking out I lost interest him as a character, (I dislike over
dramatic reactions somewhat) and since I already knew the story as
every does whether or not they have watched it, I have never finished
it. So this is not much of a commentary I admit. IT probably is a good
a very good movie, but I never could stand sentimental heartwarming
movies. They are so disgustingly emotional.
