Mr. Smith Goes to Washington Comments

    Almost all the good films of that era I watched were starring James Stewart. He was an absolute superstar in Hollywood at that time. I could see that he was very picky and had extremely high standards for the films he took. The good thing about this movie is not that it promotes democracy and freedom in the United States, but that it promotes the honesty, kindness and strength that everyone should have as a human being. PS: His second time sitting in the shadow of the Lincoln Memorial is very...

    Mr. James Stewart, do you dare to shine a little more... You're glowing all over! This Mr. Don Quixote Smith may end up being killed just like his...

    The scene of Mr. Smith's tongue fight in the Senate reminds me of "The Laughing Man." But Smith meets a president who can laugh, and a resourceful female secretary who loves him. I think that's why this movie is just a movie after...

    Touching! At first, it was just to see the handsomeness of James Stewart's golden age, and he was more impressed by the end. "Either I'm dead right or I'm crazy!" What a powerful line! The ending is too idealistic, and real life is probably far more cruel than this ending. Probably only in movies, the story of fighting alone can be so inspiring. In addition, the role of the chairman is very interesting....

    There's nothing to say, it's perfect, and the male lead is too powerful. Why didn't you win an Oscar? Because that year there was The Wizard of Oz, Guan Shan Fitu, and Gone with the Wind. One word: at the wrong time, masters are born in large numbers. Why do all the good movies come...

    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. ....

    Like "What a Beautiful Life", the reversal at the last second. The confession scene in this one is really good, it's really "note I love you". Many of the lines are very good, and they have nothing to do with reality or reality. Mr. Smith is indeed a rare person. It is good to be convinced by the extremely positive words he said, and it is always good to yearn for the light. Finally, I love Stewart!...

    By showing the chaos and darkness of the U.S. Senate, this film exposes the hypocritical nature of capitalist democracy and freedom. It is only a tool for parties and groups to grab benefits, and it is a democracy for a very few people. In order to control freedom of speech, the interest groups in the film do not hesitate to mutilate innocent children and children, indicating that capitalism is bound to perish! ! ps James Stewart is a phenomenal actor. 9...

    The hypocrisy of democracy. The ending is too idealistic. "Only a failed case makes a worthwhile...

    Long live democracy

    Not only you want to know, but I also want to know why such a ridiculous plot, idealistic and almost naive movie can be ranked 60th on imdb and 29th on afi top 100. Perhaps it embodies the American political ideals handed down from the Declaration of Independence and the Federalist Papers. This...

    tomorrow is still bright

    I originally planned to read Nikolai Berdyaev's "On the Slavery and Freedom of Man", but I couldn't help but read "Mr. Smith to Washington". Chairman Mao said that he was afraid to take it seriously. There are too many people in this world. There are so many so-called smart people. They know how...

Mr. Smith Goes to Washington quotes

  • Senator Joseph Paine: Now, then, Saunders. You stop this nonsense and go back to Smith's office and go to work and get him to the Senate by twelve o'clock.

    Clarissa Saunders: Look, Senator, I wasn't given a brain just to tell a Boy Ranger what time it is.

  • 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.
