I'm back!
Movie: It's a Wonderful Life (1946)



Claps:

• It is a wonderful film; The fact that it released in 1946 makes me wonder if it were the inspiration for all those 'hero sacrifices his dreams for the good of ppl around him'films in all languages. But that story has been told beautifully - A shot of positive current is injected into the viewer when the film ends.
• The angel A C-2 connects with us instantly and that causes the impact when the screen shows "Remember,No man is a failure who has friends.Thanks for the wings!"
• The unusual turn-around after Bailey wishes to commit suicide.
• James Stewart's performance - That too when he vents his frustrations after breaking down.

Blips:

• Harry & Potter characters get hyped up and fall flat.

Overall Score - 9.4/10

Daredevilry of Alfred Hitchcock in experimenting with a film shot entirely from one room.
Execution of the same to perfection with terrific camera angles.
The suspense element,dialogues and performances of the lead trio.

The film came to an end abruptly after a riveting climax of events.The aftermath could have been better.
