About This Quote

The family watched It’s a Wonderful Life, which is a very beautiful movie and all I could think was why didn’t they make a movie about uncle Billy? Uncle Billy was a drunk and fat and lost all that money in the first place. I wanted an angel to come down and show us how uncle Billy’s life had meaning. In this quote, the boy is talking about the value of the film It’s a Wonderful Life. He is upset because he can see uncle Billy’s life from the perspective of how it was wasted with being a drunkard and losing all of his money.

When I read the quote, I related to this boy and thought that maybe this was how he saw his own life. He seems to be saying that if only there were an angel who could show him how his life would have been different if he wasn’t such a failure.
