In reading the movies we have
recently watched It's A Wonderful Life, and The Family Man. These
movies are similar because they share the same theme just take place in a
different setting and time. They are both variations of the classic Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens in
that the main characters need to learn a valuable life lesson. They both didn’t
know the true meaning of Christmas.
Some
things that are similar in the movies are of when both men were rich and
successful. George Bailey was a rich business man, and Jack Campbell was the
president of a company. They both take place during Christmas time. Both Men
have realized in the end they are happy with their family and want them.
Another similarity of these two movies is that at some point in time they both
share crappy jobs. George Bailey was working for his dad when he really wanted
to be traveling and doing other stuff. Jack Campbell was working for a big time
business earning millions but then in a quick second he is working at a Tire
sale place, probably making minimum wage.
A big difference
is in the way the story is told. Jack Campbell has everything he wants. He’s
got his Ferrari, apartment, money, and his job. But what he doesn’t have is a
family and a wife. George bailey had everything he wanted also. He did have a
family and his money and power but he did not know that he was screwing up and
he lost his family. I
think these films share similarities in the theme. The theme is that you shouldn’t
take things for granite and take a hold of something and never let go. Both of
these movies show these two men love their family and they finally took a hold
and got their love back.
