Movie: "It's a Wonderful Life"-OR #20

"It's a wonderful life" is about a man named George Bailey. George had always been known as a great person. As a child, he did many good deeds that saved alot of peoples lives and such. His father, Mr.Bailey, owned a bank with his brother, Billy. George was expected to take over the business when he got older, even though that was not what he wanted to do.
After George graduated, he decided to work for a while to get money for college. Unfortunately, when it was finally his time to go to college, his father suddenly died and he immediatley had to take over the bank. He gave his college money to his brother instead.
As about 4 years past, George got married to a woman named Mary. Mary and he had known eachother or a long time. The day the married, they were going to honeymoon to NYC, when th bank suddenly crashed and George had to give everyone a loan. He had $1000 for his honeymoon, but had to use all of it to give to people for loans.
Years past, and George and Mary had 4 children. Things in the back were not going great, but George still made enough to keep a steady lifestyle for him and his family.
One day, George had given Billy $8000 for the bank. Billy accidently lost it though, and made it seem as though he and George had imbezeled it. George was so angry, that when he got home, he just exploded with anger at his entire family. Mary didn't understand what was wrong with him.
George decided to go for a drive then. He didn't even think of where to park his car when he stopped to get out by the river, he just left in the middle of the road. George looked down into the river and was seriously considering jumping, when he saw someone else jump in. Clarence was his name, and he was George's guardean angel. Clarence told George that he jumped in to save George. They talked for a while, and then George said something he never should have said: he said 'I wish I had never been born." And with that, Clarence made it so.
The two went through a serious of places throughout the town. Nobody knew who George Bailey was, and everything was different. There was no Bailey Bank, people that he had saved their lives when he was younger never had been saved, etc. George saw what it was like not to have lived and saw how much he had imacted peoples lives. He told Clarence he wished to be alive again, and Clarence made it so. George was then happy again. He ran to his family.
While George had been out, Mary was so worried about him, she went and told everyone in town to contribute money to help George. Because everyone cared so much about him, everyone contributed. George was going to be arrested because of the strange money loss, but even the policemen that were going arrest him gave money. They realized that George didn't commit a felony, but that he was a good man. It truly is a wonderful life.
