A model of the fool’s success, an idealist carnival

"Mr. Smith Goes to Washington"

Too great, this is a straightforward discussion of politics and human rights. The spirit of the film is exactly the foundation of the United States. The degree of greatness is definitely the bead of top250.

An idealist carnival. In reality, this can't happen, but this is a movie, isn't it?

The actor needs to be emotional, with a sense of energy, and not care about the camera's energy at all, so that the performance will be natural.

After a serious banquet speech-funny boy scouts giving gifts-a chorus of touching tears, this is a good emotional route.

At the beginning, it is not the perspective of the protagonist but the perspective of the supporting actors and officials, which is equivalent to the protagonist jumping directly into the second act. There is a great sense of lack, which makes the audience feel very strange.

It expresses the nervousness of the character facing the girl, and the camera only focuses on the hat that is always falling out of nowhere.

"Son, don’t miss the magical things around you, because every tree, every rock, every anthill, every star is full of natural magic. Have you ever felt how lucky you are from passing through the long and dark Can you see the sunlight again after the tunnel? Remember to look at the life around you, as if you just came out of the tunnel."

---where are you from? ---I think I have always lived in a tunnel.

"This is an adult world, you have to let go of your ideals outside the door."

Thirty years ago, I also had your ideals, and I was once you, but I compromised --- an idealist who was an established villain and was the protagonist, the drama came out all at once. This is very orthodox and very orthodox. Effective settings.

The night of the soul is so dark! The breath of death is really dead! Let the audience not see a little hope, such a turnaround is called a turnaround!

I realize that the reason why the genre becomes a fixed genre is that only by doing so can the drama be maximized and the audience can be satisfied to the greatest extent. Just like the combo in the game, the maximum damage can only be achieved by this operation. This is not a rigid dogma, this is a big way. Follow it, under a good artistic disguise, it will never tire the audience.

Reflecting on the female secretary is a branch B story that has ended before. Returning to save the protagonist after completely out of the sight of the audience can have an unexpected and reasonable effect.

"What will the children think of you after you go back?"-Just like the countermeasures against the villain in Ten Days of Crisis, regardless of the protagonist, the villain must use his greatest weakness to make him reverse his decision.

"You don't just believe in Paine or other living people, you have to believe in something bigger. You understand that decent, ordinary justice is still available in this country."

The ending must be unreserved! Incisively and vividly! Pull the drama to the highest! The conflict hit the most! The actor opened his eyes with blood hoarse! In this way, the film can be raised to a higher level.

Children from all over the world, all nationalities, and various lifestyles, bring them together and let them discover what makes people different. If your rules don't hide a little kindness and a little care for others, I would feel that all is worthless.

The parliamentarians turned their backs to the right: The stupid way is that time can reverse all prejudices, it's that simple.

The final solution is to let that once dreamed but institutionalized black and white character be deeply moved by the stupid protagonist's persistence and turn to the other side, which is also a good ending.

American youth, idealists.

Childish dreams. Justice can never be maintained by the occasional glare of humanity, no matter in the past, present or future.

Capra will treat the people as mobs and fools from beginning to end, and pin the so-called democracy on the self-mutation and collapse of the upper class.

Frank Capra didn't want to "disappoint" his audience too much, so he let the original lone hero win the final victory. In this way, the person who really changed the situation was not Smith, but Paine.

    Stewart is really best suited to play this kind of upright and kind-hearted young man in a small town with lofty aspirations. Good qualities such as humility, cuteness, and honesty are almost all engraved on the forehead.

    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 (?).

Mr. Smith Goes to Washington quotes

  • Clarissa Saunders: Look, when I came here, my eyes were big blue question marks. Now, they're big green dollar marks.

    Senator Joseph Paine: Smart, girl, eh. All right. Finish this job properly and you get a handsome bonus. And by properly, I mean keep Smith away from anything that smacks of politics.

  • Pageboy Richard Jones: Here you are Senator. Not a bad desk either. Daniel Webster used to use it.

    Jefferson Smith: Daniel Webster sat here?

    Pageboy Richard Jones: Give you something to shoot at, Senator. If you figure on doing any talking.

    Jefferson Smith: Oh, I'm just gonna sit around and listen.

    Pageboy Richard Jones: That's the way to get reelected!
