The Supreme Court justice appears to have totally missed the point of the movie.

“one almost feels sorry for the cramped, reductive worldview evidenced by Jackson in her hypothetical, which seeks to deconstruct the universal through a crude racialist lens.”

My favorite part of that article is this:Ketanji Brown Jackson Is Wrong about It’s a Wonderful Life | National Review

"These comments speak to Capra’s own expansive and magnanimous view of humanity. “When I see a crowd, I see a collection of free individuals: each a unique person; each a king or a queen; each a story that would fill a book; each an island of human dignity,” he once said. Of his choice of film subjects, he said, “Yes, let others make films about the grand sweeps of history. I’d make mine about the bloke that pushes the broom.”"
I'd rather watch a really well-made movie about the broom pusher than any king or queen.
I’m more of a barefoot contessa guy myself. Probably Oedipal. I’m not interested in exploring the why’s
The Outlaw Josey Wales is one of the greatest films. It is so quotable. I absolutely love the speech Josey said to Ten Bears. "Governments don't live together. People do, and we don't have to go around butchering one another. You give me life and I give you life". Lots of truth. It's why I value local communities far more than what goes on in Washington.Take a look at Josey Wales, an honorable man hunted down by the evil government.
1930s had bankers in disrepute in the US. How many westerns are a banker, or big landowner, the evil-doer stopped by the lone-wolf (a very populist message)? I love Ford westerns, but Fort Apache was sending a message
The Democratic Virtues of Fort Apache – Adam M. Carrington
One of the best films ever made, Fort Apache shows that the modern world is still capable of virtue.lawliberty.org
As were his others.
Since this came up about MASH, MASH never said "Vote Democratic". It did mention Truman a couple times, once where Hawkeye sent him a telegram asking "who's responsible" and once where Potter is trying to trick a racist officer by blaming Truman for the desegregation of the army. Largely of course MASH was on Vietnam and couldn't blame the GOP for Vietnam and didn't try. But it did tackle racism, It certainly tackled the loneliness of service personnel. It certainly taught respect for everyone. Are those not fairly universal?
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: the National Review has really gone downhill.Ketanji Brown Jackson Is Wrong about It’s a Wonderful Life | National Review

I believe social media has elevated the individual above the community. And while Capra is right, I feel like the current generation of young people is ONLY focusing on the bolded.
And I hate it with every fiber of my being
I am writing this on an internet message board so I'm not without hypocrisy.
