As a man who was facing suicide in 2018, this film has such special meaning for me. I was in the midst of a divorce and the pain threatened to take my life. I remember that I was shown in a very unique spiritual experience (in which my Mom saved my life) what would happen to my children if I were to leave. It would have a ripple effect that would not only affect them but others who I was meant to meet. I am so grateful I stayed. I can attest to the fact that no man (or woman for that matter) is a failure who has friends. My life is incredibly rich and full because I chose to stay. ❤

7:53 the timing of when the camera cuts to the crowd after George's emotional moment with his family as they're singing Auld Lang Syne in the background is just brilliant. For a film made in 1946 that is superb filmmaking and editing.

To me the greatness of this movie and how it just moves just about everyone to tears is how it was made and how the actors made it seem so real . We have George’s life and despair going down and down . We see how the towns people because of the depression go down . We see how the town goes down without George . Yes there are some bright spots but most of the time we are feeling bad especially for George. Even seeing and hearing Mr Potter makes us feel sad and down. Then in the last 9 minutes the movie takes you on an emotional explosion like a Saturn 5 rocket. We cry because we feel very happy for the town , it’s people . Clarence the angel , George’s family and especially George.

Obviously all of the amazing lines get me, but the moment I start inconsolably crying is when he passes by his wrecked car and just lets out such a genuine cheer. He doesn't even care what's going to happen to him, he's just so grateful to be alive.

Sam "Hee Haw" Wainright wiring to say that he is willing to give George $25,000 ruined the ending of the movie. The community of Bedford Falls all came together to give George whatever little they had to help George and here is arrogant, obnoxious, "steal your girl" Sam saying he will advance George what Sam would pay for a nice weekend's entertainment. It was chump change to him. Bedford Falls gave their all to George. He didn't need crummy Sam's crumbs.

I think the point of that line is to confirm to the audience that George is in the clear. Even with the community coming together, its not clear if it would add up to $8000.

One moment in this that stuck out to me only recently was George's reaction to seeing Harry. With Clarence, he was shown his brother's grave, which is what would've happened if George actually was never born. The realization and relief in George's face, and even the fact that he says Harry's name twice, it's almost as if George has to wrap his mind around his brother still being alive. It's one of my favorite subtle acting moments. It hits everytime.

I felt like Potter’s punishment was more implicit than explicit. George got the help he needed and was hailed as the hero of the town by everyone, and Potter is left with nobody but his butler who is only there because he’s being paid to be there.
