    Democracy, civil rights, and the people, do the Chinese people have these? A legendary story will never happen in China, because it will not give you this opportunity at all; the evil imperialism preaches freedom, even in form, it makes people yearn, at least, people...

    The idyllic beauty sketched in just a few sentences is not enough to move people, which makes the show unconvincing in the trivial and tiresome political Don Quixote drama. This kind of small character does not have enough design. It is better to see...

    A victory for the common people is also a victory for the liberal democracy advocated by the United States. The little man Smith exudes the brilliance of humanity under the interpretation of James Stewart, especially the state of doing his best after 24 consecutive speeches at the end is...

    In the end, the brilliance of human nature was used to save the siege, but Capra's films always have a bit of an allegorical quality, so I believe it for the time being. Such an uplifting...

    Idealistic farce. The theme is very interesting, with a bunch of ideal young people, patriots, no political experience, what would it be like to become a senator in parliament? In front of him, of course, there are a bunch of shady scenes such as exchange of interests, political operations, and even bribery. It depends on how idealism hits a wall, how to struggle, how to resist, how to move people's hearts and arouse their conscience. Farce can only happen in places that value procedural...

    It's actually a tragic tale that seems to ask the end of the Founding Fathers' design, which is frustrating and not so lucky every...

    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...

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.
