’Tis the season of Zuzu’s Petals.
I’m gearing up for my annual viewing of
It’s a Wonderful Life. Contrary to old jokes and expired trivia, it’s only on broadcast TV a few times a year, ever since NBC bought the TV rights in 1994. (It airs Christmas Eve at 8 p.m.) But if you miss that, it’s playing on the E! Network, which is owned by NBC, all day long on Christmas.
It’s a Wonderful Life is not only my favorite Christmas movie of all time, it’s my favorite movie period. It’s a perfect blend of realism and fantasy, of light romance and dark themes (parts of the movie are practically film noir), a film that pretty much sums up what life is all about, or at the very least what life should be about, beautifully acted and written and directed. It’s the movie the Earth should put in a time capsule to tell future visitors what we were all about.
