Here’s an idea for Hollywood: Remake You Can’t Take It With You, the 1938 classic directed by Frank Capra. It’s a film that defends family, community, and individuality in the face of bureaucracy, war, and heartless monopolies. With artificial intelligence about to absorb America, inflation making people fall behind in bills, social media giants reaching into every life, the government paying for war, and schools creating a leftist monoculture without eccentricity and critical thinking, a new You Can’t Take It With You would be quite relevant — maybe even as much as the film Capra is famous for, It’s a Wonderful Life. ...

Though 1938 was a long time ago, You Can’t Take It With You offers a very important lesson for today. Namely, that there is an amazing amount of diversity within the family and that the family is a bulwark against bullying and groupthink by the state.
