First of all, this is a standard classic Hollywood movie that meets all standards, yes. But please note that the director is not, why? It is very simple, because it is not very standard for individuals to confront the whole group. But it does not prevent the movie itself is.
Then let’s... -

The distance between film and reality is difficult to measure - recognize reality but also be full of hope
Boldly exposes the corruption and darkness of politics, and mentions "media freedom" by the way. Seeking personal interests through the power in hand, unscrupulously suppressing opponents and people of justice, manipulating the media to cover up the truth, these are the unspoken rules of...

3.5; The introduction of "Boy Scouts" is quite clever. It is not only a metaphor for Mr. Smith’s first arrival in Washington, but also alluding to children as the hope of changing the current state of the country in the future, and the existence of Boy Scouts as an entity in the narrative can also promote . The solitary voice of idealism in court is still a fairy tale after all, and it is part of the American dream. It may not happen, and it never happened, but we have seen how "democracy" and "freedom" came into being, because of these With innocent and fearless shouts, the progress of mankind can move forward slowly.

Mr. Smith Goes to Washington quotes
-
H.V. Kaltenborn, Himself: [Speaking into a CBS Radio microphone] This is H.V. Kaltenborn speaking. Half of official Washington is here to see democracy's finest show: the filibuster. The right to talk your head off. The American privilege of free speech in its most dramatic form. The least man in that chamber, once he gets and holds that floor, by the rules, can hold it and talk as long as he can stand on his feet. Providing always; first, that he does not sit down, second, that he does not leave the chamber or stop talking. The galleries are packed! In the diplomatic gallery, are the envoys of two dictator powers. They have come here to see what they can't see at home: democracy in action.

Jefferson Smith: I always get a great kick out of that part of the Declaration of Independence. You're not gonna have a country where these kind of rules work, if you haven't got men that have learned to tell human rights from a punch in the nose.
[applause from the gallery]
Jefferson Smith: It's a funny thing about men. They all start out being boys. I wouldn't be surprised if some of these Senators were boys once. That's why it seemed like a pretty good idea to get boys out of the crowded cities and stuffy basements for a couple of months out of the year. Build their bodies and minds for a man-sized job. Those boys will be sitting behind these desks some day. Yes, it seemed like a pretty good idea - boys from all over the country, of all nationalities and ways of life, getting together and finding out what makes different people tick the way they do. Because I wouldn't give you two cents for all your fancy rules if, behind them, they didn't have a little bit of plain, ordinary, everyday kindness... and a little looking out for the other fella, too. That's pretty important, all that. It's just the blood, bone and sinew of this democracy that some great men handed down to the human race, that's all! But, of course, if you've got to build a dam where a boys' camp ought to be to get some graft to pay off some political army or something, why that's different!
[suddenly, with strength]
Jefferson Smith: No, sir! If you think I'll go back and tell those boys in my state, "Forget it, fellas. Everything I've told you about the land you live in is a lot of hooey. It isn't your country - it belongs to the James Taylors!" Not me! Anybody who thinks that has got another think coming!
[Jeff notices that none of the senators are really listening to him; he sharply whistles, startling the room of men out of their apathy]
Jefferson Smith: That's all right. I just wanted to see whether you still had faces.
[laughter from the gallery]
Jefferson Smith: I'm sorry, gentlemen. I know I'm being disrespectful to this honorable body. A guy like me should never be allowed here in the first place! I hate to stand here and try your patience but... EITHER I'M DEAD RIGHT OR I'M CRAZY!
Senate Minority Leader, Barnes: You wouldn't care to put that to a vote, would you, Senator?
[this time, the Senators laugh]
