I must be unusually dense. Didn’t understand the adulation given this movie back in the day and still don’t.
What is supposed to be profound about this speech? It’s typical leftist drivel about how the market and responsibilities enslave a person, and to be really free one lives as a parasite on society, producing nothing.
Ignoring the fact that such a lifestyle is only possible because the George Baileys of the world produce enough “stuff” that society can afford parasites.
If someone can explain why this scene is supposed to portray deep thoughts, I’d be glad to try to understand.
