The 9th #法罗岛电影节# will bring you "Mr. Smith to Washington" on the 3rd screening day of the main competition unit. Here are the film reviews of the frontline cabbage politicians who are in Huadu!

Fruit trees:

If you don't regard Hollywood justice as the original sin of the film, you can enjoy it calmly by accepting such a setting. It is a bit rudimentary now, but the whole film is very uniform and complete.

Cornice:

Even if the core is the main theme, he is still moved by his simple narration without any technique. Idealism and the American dream of latecomers. Under the cruel reality, the ending gave us fairy-tale comfort.

Owner of Faroe Island:

Stewart satisfies all my fantasies about young idealists, and certainly cannot avoid the theme of the movie, but the lively and decent characters are still touching, and the paper-like "great lightness" will be very thin.

K:

It is also about politics. This movie portrays an American idealist. James Stewart is the absolute protagonist. Every shot shows his charm and acting skills. But I think the most interesting part is the operation of the US Congress. Humorous and interesting portrayal.

I know her a little bit:

Progressively step by step, without slowness or rapidity, James Stewart’s growth is a milestone leap forward. His wonderful and outstanding performance made the whole film shine, and the second half became his personal performance show. The integrity, kindness, enthusiasm, and bravery in him are all integrated with this character, which is exciting and exciting. This is a movie that truly belongs to him. They achieved and supported each other and created this American dream together.

No one at midnight:

Choose to be a happy and ignorant screw in a huge machine, or a thread that may be torn off at any time but clearly indicates that there is a problem with the quality of your clothes? The theme is very American, but it is still exciting. Young people are always idealists, full of integrity and courage to confront the world. Perhaps they have long been reduced to laughing stocks in the adult world, but as long as you are sincere and correct, this expression is still enough to resonate.

kc512:

The design of Mr. Smith’s character has a fatal flaw, that is, he is too perfect for idealists and too stupid for realists. In contrast, the roles of female secretary and chubby reporter are more interesting because they are more humane. In this kind of political comedy, I actually prefer to see the humor brought by the see-saw of the character falling into reality and ideals, rather than the joke made by a character full of ideals that is out of place. That is Tati’s work, and he also Don't talk directly about politics. As a result, the scenes without the male lead are all very good-looking.

#FIFF9# DAY3's main competition score will be released for everyone later, please wait and see.

    I don't think I can say anything. . . Jimmy Stewart is so handsome in the final parliamentary scene - the final duel of a desperate Don Quixote. Although the movie gave hope at the end, it is still a movie full of despair. How many bad guys can we hope to find out in good conscience, and how many Jeff Smiths can be found innocent? (Finally, Jimmy is so tender at this time)

    As a strong contrast with Jimmy's friend Henry Fonda's 12 Angry Men, they represent the presentation of American idealism in the legislative and judicial branches.
