⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 🌟"It's A Wonderful Life"🌟 is one of the most "Wonderful" movies of the Christmas season. It's a "must watch" for me every year. The story line holds true for any and every one at any age. A beautiful protrayal if the human spirit and the struggle we all experience during our journey through life; and the goodness we all can do and achieve with a little help from our own personal good angel, "Clarence". "Merry Christmas" and "Happy Holidays" to all.

Being somewhat of a historian of "animated" movies; my first movie I viewed, as a child in the 50's, was Disney's iconic " Lady and the Tramp". From there I have appreciated the wonderful growth of the film genre throughout the years and have quietly rated those with a certain degree artistic integrity. As to "Rango", animation is undoubtedly superb, beyond most material, past and present. Story line can be followed, with relative ease, however may be a little too intense for younger children. But this, comimg from a father of two, should be expected. That being said, I can attest, even now, as I am watching "Rango" on T.V., that "Rango" is a wonderfully, fun watch😄. Enjoy!🥰

The truly absurb manner in which the portrayal of the harsh reality of the upper mid-west is depicted, is very comedic in it's severity of the human condition, that it seems it has almost been sculpted from the winter harshness. So brilliant is the film's jarring of the mind's standards of normality, one has to stop and ask, is that a true depiction of their reality, and mind set? Pondering the question, one begins to ask if they ask the same questions of us. P.S. Would definately appreciate more film making of this quality.

Was at the opening at our local, big, "panavision" theater with an audience that was totally unaware of what they were about to experience. A joyous, giddy, group, having entered the theater, slowly exited with a somber and drained demeaner, as if they had been transformed by the "possible reality" of such an event could, or would, ever happen. And if so, would "the powers that be" would ever expose such an event to the real, placid, and un-informed people of the real world. It had everyone cautiously glancing at the night sky with an uncomfortable sense of "what if". Sometimes, on a clear and star-lit night, I find myself glancing up still, and wondering, "what if".

What Lies Beneath

Having seen when first premiered, it was a pleasant surprise to see a re-airing tonight. What an incredible and ponient story of the difficulties in creating one's own destiny and staying true to yourself, regardless of life's side roads that lure you off your true intentions. A true study of the human challenge that we all face, regardless of our position in life. And one of Robin Williams' most beautiful performances. May he be truly be recognized as one of our most profound actors of our lifetime.😑

Having known a "WWII vet" who was there on "D-Day", he expressed great appreciation to the the accuracy in which Spielberg depicted the realistic brutality of the invasion of the beaches of Normandy. Said it was very difficult to watch, but said all young Americans should view the film to re-establish the true dedication of our fore-fathers that fought to preserve our freedom as Americans and be thankful we, as true Americans, had those that were so dedicated to us. With that, I salute them.🇺🇸
