Yeah, but the Kind Capitalist leads a pretty sad life and brings his business to ruin through employing an incompetent person through his kindness - I don't think George Bailey can be read as aspirational.

I agree that any film that doesn't offer a thorough Marxist critique of its protagonist is morally bankrupt.

Rewatching The Best Years of Our Lives this evening thanks to TCM and it's still a shock to hear Theresa Wright declare "I'm going to break up that marriage."

I loved people who were captivated by It's a Wonderful Life before I saw the movie, it made it easier for me to appreciate it

It's a Wonderful Life is by a good measure the better film. Not the "righter" film, but the better one.

A movie that calls life "wonderful" and then goes out of its way to prove all the ways it isn't. Baller.
