Faith, Film, & Philosophy, ch. 7

It's a Wonderful Life paired up with Run, Lola Run? I have got to hear this. Surprisingly, the two films are asking similar questions though carrying out their story in two very different ways. The issue of free will is inserted into this chapter. I think that is appropriate for Run, Lola Run, but does not seem to be the question that It's a Wonderful Life is asking. A useful discussion nonetheless. The concept of counterfactuals served as a unifying concept that permeates each and serves as an interesting philosophical discussion for the two films.
