It's the holiday season, which is the perfect time to contemplate the meaning of your existence.

 

It's a Wonderful Life takes the battle against nihilism all the way back to the 1940s, where working class struggles, resentment, and the value of the individual are shown sans the cynicism of our modern culture.

 

Merry Christmas all!
