    The film I watched for Jimmy Stewart (btw, he is very handsome in it), but I was really moved. Although it revealed the darkness of American politics, it also advocated the individual's right to pursue freedom, equality and happiness. Will something like this happen...

    It's a pity that Frank Campra, this super invincible aphrodisiac, didn't touch China as a director! Sucking and kicking Wei has lost a goddamn talent like...

    The long speech of the parliament itself is a farce, but it is just and awe-inspiring because of Smith's relentless and almost stalking challenge to the shady dam bill. A simple boy scout commander did not expect the darkness of politics. Overwhelmingly, with the encouragement of Sanders, with enthusiasm, he gave the mayfly and the tree different...

    8.1/10. Main theme movie: The honest and innocent state legislator successfully broke through the shackles of corrupt politicians to pass a proposal and has since become famous. The film is very precise in terms of performance, editing, photography, lines, soundtrack, etc., but the villain boss at the end seems to be too abrupt...

    It turns out that there is such a law in the United States. When you get the right to speak, you can say that death is the main thing. A brilliant and sobering political satire, nearly eighty years later, it still hasn't gone out of...

    Captain American. I'm getting old and don't believe that these things are realistic anymore, but I still think about those years when I still wished these things were real, when I looked at Lynda, and when I thought of gravel The story that MPs kept telling in Parliament. These things need to have such an economic foundation and enforceable rules for the game, and you will feel that young people and young countries have had such a wonderful time. || Stewart was so tall and...

    A glimpse of American government. When the idealism of a blank piece of paper affects the interests of corrupt politicians and his manipulators, they are madly splashed with ink, and they can only protect themselves through political rules and the conscience of the other party. This film is actually not idealistic, and the negative side is more able to deceive most people. The contrast between good and evil forces is so desperate and suffocating, but Americans have always been confident in the...

    I was as excited as Mr. Smith when I first went to Washington. I still remember the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument. The road to democracy must come and...

    This is the typical American dream! The political purgatory that devours people's hearts, the conflict between ideal and reality. You will eventually step into this uncertain journey, whether it is bright or full of thorns, you must also face the difficulties and cut through the thorns, and eventually you will find that the light is actually at the end of the abyss! Stewart's last passionate and passionate speech is the highlight of the whole film. Except for the slightly idealized ending,...

    I remember what my tutor said that American democracy is the outer layer, and freedom is the core. It is a successful theme movie. The solution given by the film still relies on Joe Payne's conscience. In the face of politics, what is the guarantee that the people can rely on? Does this guarantee exist? I also saw the foolish people and mobs presented in the film. Public opinion is easy to be manipulated, and people who fall into madness and emotions are...

    Long live democracy

    "Mr. Smith to Washington" can be said to be an excellent interpretation of the democratic political system in the United States, and the film's other name "Long Live Democracy" can be said to be the main theme. ".
    Perhaps what Americans are most proud of is their democratic system, but the film...

    Comment on "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington"

    For a long time, I have always believed that writing any commentary article should be calm and objective, and avoid putting personal likes and dislikes and subjective emotions into the text too much. After all, the reviewer should play a humble role. In addition to logical, well-founded...

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.
