I hope I have a relationship like this with my daughter or son. I’m going to have them with my wife for our selfish desires but I want to provide for them, teach them, guide them, and enable them to be prepared for their life. Then I want them to do what they feel. To see the world, to experience their life. I hope they do the right thing and makes decisions that are good for them. I hope I can see them be fulfilled, be happy and live their life.

I wish I had a father like George Bailey's kind and supportive and an all around good person and family man. It does fit the world we live in that he dies from a stroke presumably at least partly due to stress while people like Potter live on making people miserable.

It’s great because you do sympathize with George wanting to fly. But ultimately it’s the people we love and the friends we make that truly matters, wherever that is.

This is one of my favorite film scenes between a father and son -- MAYBE my favorite of all time. It breaks his father's heart to hear that George is leaving, but at the same time, he wants his son to be happy and have the adventures he never got to have. There's just so much respect and reverence between them, you don't see that anymore.

You know, what isn't discussed is how Peter can't look at his son at 2:50 when he realizes that George wants to go see the world and do bigger things than sticking around Bedford Falls working at the Building & Loan. He looks almost worried, in a way. Peter knows George is good through-and-through and a brilliant man as well, but if George goes off then Potter has a good chance of beating the Bailey's family business; the single most important means of helping their community out through poverty and Potter's greedy tactics. That haunting look, he knows that he won't be around for much longer (And I'm not just saying that because that very night Peter has a stroke and passes away offscreen) and thinks that nobody will be around to help their friends and family and save them from turning to Potter. The sheer brilliance of acting in this scene... You really truly see how heartbroken Peter is that his son doesn't want to stay in Bedford Falls, yet he still supports George, loves him very much. I think a bit of Peter stuck around with George for the rest of the film, and it really makes you wonder what Peter was like as a father and as a friend to the community.

In the alternative world, where Bailey Park was a cemetery . . . does George not understand that beautiful little houses are what make great communities? All this huff about modern cities and skyscrapers are just so cold and empty. I think there is more beauty in little houses than cities will ever know.

The brilliance of this writing... "He hates anyone with anything he can't have. I suppose he hates us most of all." Incredibly layered meaning in these words, what is it that the Baileys have in abundance that Potter doesn't? Family, friends, true treasure. Peter Bailey reveals to us very early on what the whole lesson of the film is from the very beginning.

"I wanna do something big, n' something important!" "You know George, I feel that in a small way we're doing something important. It's satisfying a fundamental urge. It's deep in the race for a man to want his own roof, and walls, and fireplace, and and we're helping him get those things in our shabby little office." George thought his mission was to create giant skyscrapers and design big cities. It turned out it was helping people escape rent and money monopoly, and build their own homes, families, and neighborhoods. In the movie, Potter and the Baileys represent two conflicting American dreams. Which one is winning?

As an artist in my mid twenties, this scene hit me harder than ever this year. So many dreams, so many aspirations to do "big things" that this past year seemingly has put on hold - moving to a new city, breaking out in my career, dating the girl I care about, making a difference in the world...And yet I'm starting to learn more and more the truth that seems so obvious but can often be so elusive...what feels like disappointment in my present circumstances can actually yield a *better* life, with even richer rewards: good health, a job with security, a deeper connection and involvement with my church community, closeness with my family, and a stronger sense of grace and gratitude.
