No Place Like Movies at Home: Made for Each Other

1939 is wildly thought to be the best year ever for movies. Several classics came out of that year, like Gone with the Wind and The Wizard of Oz. There is another movie that you don't hear about much that also came out of that year called Made for Each Other. 

This is a heartbreaking beautiful tale of life. The movie stars James Stewart and Carol Lombard, as very ordinary married couple. They met, the fell in love, they got married they had baby. They struggled as any young family: money problems, new born baby, a dead in end job. They are trying to stay afloat and are struggling with the current state of their lives when they find out that their baby is deathly ill.

Now, as sad as all of this sounds it all works out in the end. It's great story telling about some of the struggles we got through in life. That is why I enjoyed the movie so much. There isn't a whole lot of flash, or craziness. There wasn't plot twists or a big magic moment that made everything bad just instantly go away. It's life. That all it was. A story about the ups and downs of typical everyday people. An art form that I think Hollywood has forgotten about today. Even when they do try to do a movie about life they always seem to taint it with something that would not normally be an issue. If you are looking for a movie that is beautiful for it's simple art of story telling Made for Each Other is the one to see.
