Why is Charlie obsessed with the character ‘Uncle Billy’ in the movie, “It’s a Wonderful Life”? What is it that he feels the movie should have done with Uncle Billy? Why is this important to Charlie? How does it relate to his own life?

From the text:

The family watched It’s a Wonderful Life, which is a very beautiful movie. And all I could think was why didn’t they make the movie about Uncle Billy?

I just wanted the movie to be about Uncle Billy because he drank a lot and was fat and lost the money in the first place. I wanted the angel to come down and show us how Uncle Billy’s life had meaning. Then, I think I’d feel better.

In my opinion, Charlie gravitated toward Uncle Billy because he was flawed..... imperfect.
