of the people by the people for the people Smith, a young man who organized the Boy Scouts, came to Congress to become a member of Congress. He proposed a motion to establish a Boy Scout base. The motion is contrary to the dam motion. The dam motion is backed by big shots. They framed Smith and Smith. With the support of his assistant Sanders, he fought hard until he fainted. Smith firmly believed in the creed of Lincoln and Washington, and was full of expectations for everything in Washington. After recognizing the hypocrisy of some congressmen, he began to fight and make a proposal to change his hometown. The parliament was fighting alone, media reports were one-sided and opposed, and the support of the Boy Scouts was drowned out by the opposition. In the end, it was the congressmen who had friendship with Smith's father who slapped themselves, and Smith turned defeat into victory. In fact, the real situation of people like Smith in the United States is not optimistic. The shot showing Mr. Smith feels at a loss after seeing the beauty is very interesting. The shot only takes pictures of his hand holding a hat. The hat falls off after holding it in his hand for a while. He picks it up again, and then falls again. He picks it up again, and shoots repeatedly. It makes people laugh. Smith's first proposal in Congress was also very interesting. He stammered, trembling, and highly nervous. James Stewart's performance is very natural, people believe that he is Smith, the film perfectly shows the operation of the US Congress, congressmen, reporters, visitors and children internship, staged wonderful performances.

    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 (?).

    I can't think of a more idealistic and simple person like Capra in his life than making movies. It is said that when Jimmy was young, his mouth was good-looking, with two full lips. When he got old, in addition to loose skin, his lips also became thinner. . .

Mr. Smith Goes to Washington quotes

  • 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.

  • Jefferson Smith: I always get a great kick out of that part of the Declaration of Independence. You're not gonna have a country where these kind of rules work, if you haven't got men that have learned to tell human rights from a punch in the nose.

    [applause from the gallery]

    Jefferson Smith: It's a funny thing about men. They all start out being boys. I wouldn't be surprised if some of these Senators were boys once. That's why it seemed like a pretty good idea to get boys out of the crowded cities and stuffy basements for a couple of months out of the year. Build their bodies and minds for a man-sized job. Those boys will be sitting behind these desks some day. Yes, it seemed like a pretty good idea - boys from all over the country, of all nationalities and ways of life, getting together and finding out what makes different people tick the way they do. Because I wouldn't give you two cents for all your fancy rules if, behind them, they didn't have a little bit of plain, ordinary, everyday kindness... and a little looking out for the other fella, too. That's pretty important, all that. It's just the blood, bone and sinew of this democracy that some great men handed down to the human race, that's all! But, of course, if you've got to build a dam where a boys' camp ought to be to get some graft to pay off some political army or something, why that's different!

    [suddenly, with strength]

    Jefferson Smith: No, sir! If you think I'll go back and tell those boys in my state, "Forget it, fellas. Everything I've told you about the land you live in is a lot of hooey. It isn't your country - it belongs to the James Taylors!" Not me! Anybody who thinks that has got another think coming!

    [Jeff notices that none of the senators are really listening to him; he sharply whistles, startling the room of men out of their apathy]

    Jefferson Smith: That's all right. I just wanted to see whether you still had faces.

    [laughter from the gallery]

    Jefferson Smith: I'm sorry, gentlemen. I know I'm being disrespectful to this honorable body. A guy like me should never be allowed here in the first place! I hate to stand here and try your patience but... EITHER I'M DEAD RIGHT OR I'M CRAZY!

    Senate Minority Leader, Barnes: You wouldn't care to put that to a vote, would you, Senator?

    [this time, the Senators laugh]
