It's a Wonderful Life (1946)

- Generosity
- A perennial favorite: the "salvation" scene at the end
of the movie, where all of George's friends
bring their contribution to help him out. The
table literally "overfloweth" with their generosity. A wonderful
metaphor for God's grace in times of need.
(Brian Rafferty)
- Prayer
- The opening scene of the movie, which begins with a
chorus of prayer being offered on behalf of George Bailey, who is facing
the crisis of his life. In the same movie, George Bailey (Jimmy Stewart)
praying for himself ("help me...") (Queior, Richmond ME)
- Christian Life
- As George Bailey's views what the world be if he did
not exist, it is similar to what the world would
look like without good; his brother dies young, their
town turns into an evil Potterville etc. George's
life being pulled out is like the salt, Christians,
being pulled out of the world. (Bob Vallin)
