It's a Wonderful Life

Oh wow. Me and Laura went to see It's a Wonderful Life at Cineworld tonight. Pretty darn wonderful alright! I didn't expect to like it so much, but I absolutely loved it! My mum and dad were so happy that I was going to watch a decent movie for a change, and I think they were chuffed that I liked it so much. We snuck in hot chocolate in a thermos and some mince pies, just to add to the Christmas spirit!

I found myself getting really involved with George. You get so absorbed in the story of his life and you don't realise just how swept up you are until Clarence shows him how terrible life would be without him. When I watch more recent films I find myself not caring very much about the characters and don't get so involved with the story because it all happens so fast. I think "don't be such a baby, it's not that bad!". But with Wonderful Life you really understand George and it did get a little emotional at the end! Such a, well, wonderful film!

Mum says we're going to watch it again at Christmas *<:]
