George bailey the hero of the film dreams of exploring the
world and shaking the dust off his shoes. However his constant effort to do
right things stops him from chasing his dreams and restrict him to his
birthplace. The biggest reason is the loan association and responsibility for
the family savings which confines George for not moving out from the Bedford falls.
He has a family consisting of wife Mary and their four beautiful children which
he loves the most in his life.
In a stage where there is a conflict among public virtue and
individualism has become more superficial than ever hope can be a intense
attitude to have. All of us at some point of our lives will face or had faced
the same situation of George, where there is lots of opportunity and yet the
responsibility of our family and civic will always strain us back, devastating
our any dreams or planning we had in our mind. That’s the reason the message of
hope is not so narrow. Not a single problem in the film was resolved, which was
brilliantly showcased by the recurrent theme of the broken finial in the George
house staircase. Hope is that thing which gives us some comfort and resolves
our life in some way with no assurances for the future.
