It's a Wonderful Life : Bullshit things about this bullshit movie

1. Mary ends up wearing glasses???
So if she didn't meet George, her eyes somehow go bad?
WTF?
That makes no sense at all.

2. Child abuse.
No justification nor excuse for why the old geezer mother fucker Mr. Gower beats George to the point where his ear bleeds.
I don't give a shit that he is distraught and drunk that his son died.
The old fucker needs to go home.
As a pharmacist, he should have had more common sense.

3. Telling his pop he is a great guy is a shock?
Telling him he is gay and/or wants a sex change.
Now that would be a shock!

Are you only an asshole to me or an asshole at others too?

"Please vote to preserve the unique character of Warren…" - Robert Duvall

I have had enough of your shit which is all you ever post at me.
Just worthless shit.

You don't care to ever engage in any kind of dialog.
All you are is nothing but an asshole troll at me.

I could give you one more chance. A warning.
Why bother?
You don't care to get along and you never will.
Fuck you.
Just another hating asshole troll of good and smart and nice WP.

Another one to add to my block list.
No loss there at all.

Capra, according to Jimmy Hawkins, later admitted that making Mary a librarian was a mistake

Drunks do stupid things. George forgave him because he has a big heart

Telling pop isn't memorable for me so I have nothing

I agree that drunks do stupid things but I never beat anyone whenever I got drunk.
There was no excuse for what that old geezer did.
None.

People do stupid things

An aunt of mine slapped me across the face, hard, when I was 8 because her infant was crying

A stupid thing to do. I was a lot luckier than her children who lived with her and her violent tendencies

I've done stupid, unforgivable things. It's best to move on

There can never be any excuse for any child abuse ever.
Get that through your thick and stubborn skull.
Same thing with this movie.
What that old mother fucking shit stained ass wiper did was wrong!
That is not opinion. THAT IS FACT!
SO SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!!!!!!!!

"Please vote to preserve the unique character of Warren…" - Robert Duvall

I agree, there's no excuse. Too many are getting away with it and children are being failed

This is how it's always been. As long as there is evil in this world, evil things will happen to the innocent

We need to be diligent and not turn a blind eye to it

There are also angels here

Are you trolling or are you serious about these complaints about the movie?

Serious.

"Please vote to preserve the unique character of Warren…" - Robert Duvall

I pity you for your stupidity and how that drives you to overthink things and then come here for validation of your overwrought nonsense.

How's that working out for you?

Ah yes.
Instead of making counter points to my truths all you do is come up with lame insults showing that you are just another asshole troll.

I dunno why or how morons like you can find the flaws I bring up to somehow be acceptable.
I guess you would rather keep your head shoved up your ass instead of facing the music of the bullshit of this flawed and imperfect movie which makes child abuse acceptable.

---

"Please vote to preserve the unique character of Warren…" - Robert Duvall

I understood and accepted the validity of all three of the scenes you objected to the first time I saw the film. I was in my 20s.

How old were you when you saw the film and formed your opinions?

I have no idea why you, with all your overthinking, couldn't get it. Try harder.

So it is not OK for others to not like your precious movie and to come along and shatter your perceptive of it.
Deal with it.

1. From IMDb FAQ

How exactly did George's non-existence cause Mary's eyesight to worsen?
Many viewers have noticed, in George's reality, Mary does not wear glasses. In the alternate reality, however, she is shown wearing glasses: apparently, merely as a dramatic device, to symbolize her profession of librarian.

The most common in-universe explanation is that Mary spends so much time reading (possibly in dim light), she ended up straining her eyes. Alternatively, in George's reality, Mary did not read a lot, so she didn't need glasses. Both explanations are based on the idea that reading too much causes one to need glasses: an idea prevalent in the 1940s but since disproven.

Others speculate, Mary needs glasses in both realities, but doesn't wear them in George's reality, because it was a popular belief in the 1940s that "boys don't make passes at girls who wear glasses." This does not consist with her more accurate aim, earlier in the film, when throwing stones to make a wish; but the combination of these images, suggests she is farsighted (i.e., better able to see at a distance than nearby). It is also speculated, Mary in the alternate reality suffered an illness that might not have happened, had George been there (presumably to look after her, or to recommend her to a doctor in time).

The most likely explanation is, the screenwriters were exploiting a common stereotype of older, unmarried woman dressed in glasses and dowdy clothes, with their hair in buns, who serve as librarians, teachers, or nurses. They also gave her a rather ungainly way of walking in this

One running thread through the movie involves drug store owner Mr. Gower. Drunk, heartbroken and grieving over the death of his son to the flu, Gower almost ends up poisoning a child because he was so distracted he didn’t pay attention to the medication he prepares for a child with diphtheria. But Young George, who delivered medications for Mr. Gower, takes note of the poison in the jar and brings it up with Mr. Gower. Gower simply sends him away so he can be alone to grieve. When Gower finds out George didn’t do his job, he slaps him until he bleeds. George explains the danger they avoided, Gower finally realizes what happened, and together the two keep it a secret.

If it's the content of the scene rather than your failing to understand the scene that upsets you, then maybe you should stop watching films altogether?

And OMG!!!
She's a..a..a… librarian!!!
Holy shit!
The horrors!!!!

That is a very respectable job.
This movie is trying to make that job and wearing glasses somehow horrible and child abuse acceptable.

I understand enough to see what a crock of shit that movie is.

Warren, did you think I was defending the film? I've never seen the film. I was merely trying to find the answers to your questions.

A lump of coal in your stocking next year, Scrooge.

LOL!

We was so poor that we was hoping to get coal in our stockings to keep ourselves warm for a few minutes on Christmas!

How come you were away for a couple of weeks?

Were you off blowing some Thai lads or what you dirty fuck!?

No, I went to Kansas for Christmas, and then to Key West, Florida for vacation. I'm back now.
BTW, Dorothy and Toto send their regards.

Yes, why are you so happy? Have you been off in Thailand on drugs and goodness knows what else

🥴😂

I'm happy because I saw family at Christmas, and then I was in Key West with a friend. You really should visit there. It's unique. And BTW, I haven't been to Thailand since 2019.

It is possible she would have to wear glasses if she never married George, perhaps she stopped bothering to go out with boys because none strike her as "the one" (seeing as George hasn't been born) so she spends her days in doors reading instead and develops short sightedness as a result, which is the number one reason people wear eye glasses.

The movie does not justify the shopkeepers abuse, it is showing George be mistreated to create sympathy in the audience for him and show how much of a heart he has being able to forgive him etc, if it wasn't abusive, it wouldn't work. It goes without saying there is no justification but the movie isn't saying there is either.

Telling your pop he's a great guy would come as a shock to him, if it's unlike you to do so. If you knew someone for near 20 years and only then did they compliment you, it'd shock you too.

Nice try but you fail.

---

"Please vote to preserve the unique character of Warren…" - Robert Duvall

He didn't fail, he nailed all 3 and you're just trying to save face because you're embarrassed you were too emotionally and intellectually immature to get it when you saw the film.

How old were you the first time you saw it?

I have seen that bull shit before as for the excuse for wearing glasses.

George was abused.

That was not a shock.

Case closed.

---

"Please vote to preserve the unique character of Warren…" - Robert Duvall

Yes, it's "case closed" for you because "You can't handle the truth!"

He's lacking in imagination and unable to suspend disbelief. He should stick to documentaries and even then he'd be complaining about realism.

IT IS CASE CLOSED BECAUSE I AM RIGHT AND YOU ARE WRONG YOU SHIT STAINED ASS WIPER!!!!!
Now you can fuck off.

You need anger management rehab, Mr. Snippy.

Get help soon before you hurt yourself or your cat.

"Telling your pop he's a great guy would come as a shock to him, if it's unlike you to do so. If you knew someone for near 20 years and only then did they compliment you, it'd shock you too."

That is correct. And the confirmation is when Annie says, "It's about time one of you lunkheads said it!"
