You would have a better grasp of this, but I get the feeling from walking about in cities, even New York City, perhaps especially in New York City, that pockets of Bedford Falls exist even there. There are neighborhoods that seem to be close knit where people know each other and look out for each other just as there are pockets with the feel of Pottersville where chaos seems to reign--micro-villages within the greater city.BooCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01193638351756858614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357864507586156598.post-63353206401490979832007-12-22T10:55:00.000-05:002007-12-22T10:55:00.000-05:00I so agree--I love this movie.

In this scene, Hontar, the main Portuguese authority, is discussing the horrific demise of almost an entire village of Guaraní Indians in 18th century South America with Altamirano, the Papal emissary.<BR/> <BR/>Hontar shrugs and says: "The world is thus."<BR/><BR/>To which Altamirano sadly replies: "No, thus have we made the world... thus have I made it."<BR/> <BR/><I>It's a Wonderful Life</I> always reminds me that we have the power (at least to a certain degree) to make our own Bedford Falls, no matter where we live, even in Pottersville.<BR/><BR/>Merry Christmas, Brian!jennifer blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10162940461142708018noreply@blogger.com
