No you are not the only person who has never watched 'Its a Wonderful Life', all the way through...I tried once to watch it from the beginning, and just could not get interested in it...my family watched it though, and enjoyed it...they told me the bulk of the story, and then I sat down and watched the last 1/2 hour of the movie...now, the last 1/2 hour I enjoy and will watch that when the movie comes on...but I have never seen the movie from beginning to end...I just cannot get interested in it, for some reason...
Gee, I thought I was the only one that has never watch it all the way through! I do like the ending, though.
Someone else said it was too dark, and I think that is why I've never enjoyed what I've seen of it (yes, I know it has a happy ending)....but I just don't like the story.
You need to watch it all the way through, without being interupted, so you can get into it. Get a video. You have to listen to the conversations so you can understand the story and care about the characters. Every part of the beginning and middle builds up to the last half hour, which makes you understand how he felt about his life, and why he thought it was worthless. Watch the whole movie, and give it a chance... not on tv with commercials, and not going in and out of the room.
