Frank Capra didn't want to "disappoint" his audience too much, so he let the original lone hero win the final victory. It was not Smith who really changed the situation, but...

Except for the last-minute transition, which takes care of the audience too ideally, the rest (especially Stewart's performance) is indeed very typical and passionate American...

1. The innocent world of children is fighting against the filth of the adult world. Smith alone fights against the evil forces of the entire state, super political heroes, which is great; 2. The chairman of the parliament is too cute and his expression is really good; 3. The voice of the heroine "Mom" made me laugh; 4. Quite a wonderful political film, not outdated,...

7.5; The part that Wo most appreciates Capra is that he will treat the people as mobs and fools from beginning to end, and put the so-called democracy on the self-mutation and collapse of the upper class. It is really too American, so strong and powerful. The Stars and Stripes Never Fall with...

8.0 The main theme is too much. You have to know that parliamentary politics is not as simple as hearings or court debates. It is not a place where miracles can happen. Moreover, you just use the rights granted to you by the constitution. In short, the reversal is too beautiful and not at all. Persuasive. btw, Jean Arthur was a real...

If the political correctness of the United States in this era is a way of avoiding suspicion and appeasement, then the political correctness of that era is a truly idealized romantic pursuit. If there is any imperfection in it, it may be a dramatic effect imposed for completion, which makes the entire ending seem extraordinarily abrupt. You can see a pair of idealistic fanaticism and simplicity. This spirit is a rare and precious quality no matter what era. It may be possible to dramatize the...

Mr. Smith Goes to Washington
One of Frank Capra's classics, about an idealized youth trying to change the corruption of the U.S. Senate.
Mr. Smith, who was selected for the Senate's temporary vacancy for a seriously ill senator, came to the Capitol to be overwhelmed by a horde of corrupt politicians, yet he stood by his... -

American dream
It is said that Frank Capra himself is an American dream, and James Stewart also has the temperament of pursuing immortal freedom and faith that seems to be exclusive to the United States. So when Capra saw Stewart who was humble and never publicized on the set, he found out. His...

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.
