you can’t take it with you
a while back, a reader suggested that i watch the 1938 frank capra movie you can’t take it with you, featuring lionel barrymore and jimmy stewart. i recently had a chance to sit down and watch the film and it left my mind flooded with thoughts about money and why we really chase it.
the plot of the movie is very straightforward. a businessman falls in love with his secretary and proposes marriage to her. one of the business deals revolves around buying the final unpurchased house in a twelve block area which would allow that whole area to be developed in a different way. the house is, of course, owned by the secretary’s family. that family doesn’t care a whit about money and instead focuses their energies on friendships and enjoying themselves. when the secretary introduces the businessman’s parents (the kirbys) to her family (the sycamores), there’s an inevitable culture clash, and eventually the secretary has to choose between the two - and she chooses the friendships and simple pleasures of her family in the end.
