Cultural censorship surrounding Christmas has been on the rise in recent generations, as evidenced by the increased use of secular imagery and generic wishes of “happy holidays.”
For that reason, many Americans gravitate toward classic works like the 1946 film “It’s A Wonderful Life.” But many of those who sat down to watch the familiar Jimmy Stewart movie on Amazon Prime were in for a jarring experience, as Breitbart explained:
In the “Potterswville scene” of the film, George tells Clarence the angel that he is worth more to his family and friends dead than he is alive. Clarence then tells George that he must earn his wings and proceeds to show George what the world would have been like if George Bailey never existed.
The scenes that Clarence reveals to him showing the world without him leads George to the realization this his life has been important to the ones he loves and that epiphany causes him to run back into his home town filled with love and the Christmas spirit.
