    #北影节留影#Finally understand the source of inspiration for "Legal Beauty 2"! They were all stupefied by mistakes and extraordinary perseverance, but the blonde Al Woods and the handsome boy Smith walked up to the statue of Lincoln and confided their frustration to the great man. Borrowing a pure and upright young man, it contrasts the collapse and corruption of U.S. politics, and art works, but in reality, ideals are mostly lost to power, so I choose to love movies rather than...

    Stewart has created a great character comparable to Pike in Robin, and any language of praise is difficult to restore. Weep for the free spirit represented by Smith and Clarissa. The most subtle part of the film is that the protagonist is set as the leader of the Boy Scouts, thus introducing "children" into political films, thereby creating the most extreme and strong contrast with the adult world. The strong recommendation of the children’s dinner table made the corrupt father choose Smith;...

    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...

    Dramatization and emotional drama are a bit too much, but the fierce parliamentary battle behind is still exciting and Stewart shows his extraordinary personal...

    Frank Capra's films always have a simple power to touch me, even if sometimes I feel that the technique is a little naive, but I still get moved in a...

    When he was sweating profusely reading the "Declaration of Independence", I was knocked out by the nympho! ! ! It is human nature to change oneself after being hit by reality, but it is undoubtedly a weak person. "The brave is fearless" is an exciting scene. The political progress of the United States has been seen in movies for decades. Jimmy builds a sincere heroic image. I don't know how many people have been encouraged to work hard to become himself. I love him is the true definition of...

    Smith gave a twenty-four-hour speech in the Senate, reading the "Declaration of Independence" and the "Constitution", and single-handedly opposed Taylor's forces throughout the state. The American spirit is fully expressed in this film (similar to "Young Lincoln", "Twelve Angry Men", "Killing a Mockingbird", and the American TV series "Boston Law"), those that symbolize the American spirit Buildings and great people are sacred...

    Authentic American national image propaganda film, an excellent subject for learning media. Although the film has a strong ideology and preaching color, the plot and performance of the film are very interesting, especially the details of the performance and the eyes of the characters, which make people forget the political background and devote themselves to the touching love and love. In the unyielding fighting spirit, China should really learn how to shoot the main theme, those shots of the...

    The Real Reality of the American Democracy Dream

    There is no real democracy, and American democracy is also operated by money in the background. As a senior American official said when commenting on the eavesdropping incident in the United States, bad things can be done, but the most important thing is not to let people know about it. This is the...

    A beautiful hymn of idealism

        Frank Capra has always been my favorite American director, not one of them. From the beginning to the end, his films are filled with a strong American idealism, permeated with healthy, active and wise humanity. Since I accidentally watched the film "How Beautiful is Life" two years...

Mr. Smith Goes to Washington quotes

  • James Taylor: Hendricks, get the hoi polloi excited. Have them send protests, letters, wires, anything you like.

  • 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.
