In 2024, Steven Spielberg said His 20 favorite films of all time for Farop Out magazineAnd many of them are indelible classics that Spielberg can be expected. "Seven Samurai", "Citizen Caine", "Day to Night" and "2001: Space Odyssey" are on the list, of course, although he also threw into several curves. Jameseims Gun "Guardians of Galaxy" It was mentioned, such as the film by Olivier Nakace and Eric Toledano in 2011 "Nogra". He also chose Victor Fleming's relatively unclear film of 1943 "One man named OEO" as one of the best ever, though it follows them; Spielberg turned the film in 1989 as "always".

Spielberg's film #1 of all time, however, was safe and reliable readiness; He is very fond of Frank Capri's Christmas classic "It's a wonderful life". But then, who doesn't want "It's a wonderful life?"

The story of the classic of Capri is probably well known even for non-communal faces. The film was warmly viewed when it was released, with some critics complaining of its overwhelming sentimentality and hard theater; It did not come into concern in the real world that the audience feels at the time. It happened in the seventh place in the box office that year, but lost a bunch of money for his studio, RKO. Was nominated for six awards at the Academy, including the best picture, the best actor and the best director, but Won only a technical Oscar for its fake snow. The film was shown by "the best years of our lives".

Since the "wonderful life" was a bomb, she disappeared from the public eye for decades. Until it started annually, the film was "saved". It is now often considered one of the best films of all time - not just Spielberg.

"It's a Wonderful Life" wasn't really exploring deep after getting out of the Oscars in the late 40s. Capra continued to make well -valued films, but "Wonderful Life" was considered the end of the line after a series of hits. The film went unpolluted for many, many years.

In 1974, "Wonderful Life" entered the public domain, and local TV stations found that they could throw it free and decided to do so during the Christmas season. It has become an easy Christmas tradition for many TV stations, and the audience has finally begun to attach it. The repeated repetitions of TV's "wonderful life" not only gave him a new life, but allowed it to explode in public awareness. Soon, it has become an important and necessary part of the Christmas season.

The film has undergone a new critical re-name, and critics have begun to understand it being one of the best films of its decade, if not at all times. It is stated by ACI as one of the 100 best, and has been incorporated into the 1990 National Register of Films.

The film became so famous that her premise was borrowed from movies and sitcoms in eternity. It was deceived by "Saturday Night Live" in 1986 and was again made by small tons In their special "Christmas" is a wonderful Christmas of Tiny Toons. "" Married ... with children "satirizes it. Jack, choose a random TV series, and it is likely that she had an episode "Wonderful Life" - it's a story that allowed the protagonist to be seen in a parallel universe where they were never born. "It's a wonderful life" has become just as mythical as Charles Dickens's "Christmas Carroll".

It feels awful to mention the story of "it's a wonderful life", given how well known it is, but to make my attention: "It's a wonderful life" is for George Bailey (Jameseshei Stuart), a pretty decent man. As a child, he saved his brother from drowning, an act he left able to hear him from one ear. He helped the local pharmacist prevented him from making a serious drug -related mistake. Georgeor unwittingly inherited his father and loan savings and has been forced to lead him for years, despite many attempts to overload and leave his small town of Bedford Falls. He married his Mila Maria (Donna Reid), but still aims to escape.

After a lot of money is accidentally housed by one of Georgeorge's associates, and the greedy fat cat in the city of Mr Potter (Lionel Barrymore) refuses to give him any financial aid, Georgeore runs on a bridge in the hope of being kicked out. While thinking about self-sales, George is meeting an angel (!) By the name of Clarence (Henry Travers) who tells him that life is worth living. ORC, in a depressed funk, explains to Clarence that his simple existence is a burden on the world. Clarence proves him wrong by showing George Parallel Universe where he was never born. The lives of everyone is terrible in that world. Georgeorje, it seems, is a vital piece in the happiness of the Bedford waterfalls. (The final parallel sequences of the universe occupy a surprisingly small amount of film duration.) Finally, Georgeorge returns home happy and orderly.

It's an exciting message, of course. We all have value. When we are depressed, we have a dark imagination to paint a world that is happier without us, and suddenly we lack the imagination to imagine a world that is better because we are in it. But it is appropriate that Spielberg, often an optimistic cinema, will be drawn to this story.
