After watching "Mr. Diez's Into the City", this 1936 movie is really wonderful. It is recommended to everyone in life who is regarded as a "freak". In the movie, the media deliberately cast a stranger who is out of place with the city into a madman and a laughing stock; take him to court to take his property, and the court witnesses also have a pair of old women who only think they are normal people...you will Don’t you think it’s absurd and funny? In real life, many people who think they are savvy in the arts like to laugh at the strangers who they don’t understand. This aspect is due to narrow ignorance, and more importantly, as Mr. Diez said, "People like to get happiness by hurting and laughing at others." It seems that we will have to rectify the name of the freak group including ourselves in the future.

Mr. Deeds Goes to Town quotes

  • Longfellow Deeds: [to the Court] From what I can see, no matter what system of government we have, there will always be leaders and always be followers. It's like the road out in front of my house. It's on a steep hill. Every day I watch the cars climbing up. Some go lickety-split up that hill on high, some have to shift into second, and some sputter and shake and slip back to the bottom again. Same cars, same gasoline, yet some make it and some don't. And I say the fellas who can make the hill on high should stop once in a while and help those who can't. That's all I'm trying to do with this money. Help the fellas who can't make the hill on high.

  • Longfellow Deeds: [to the Court] It's like I'm out in a big boat, and I see one fellow in a rowboat who's tired of rowing and wants a free ride, and another fellow who's drowning. Who would you expect me to rescue? Mr. Cedar - who's just tired of rowing and wants a free ride? Or those men out there who are drowning? Any ten year old child will give you the answer to that.
