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...

    A Story of an Idealist


    Young Senator Smith arrives in the capital to pay his respects to his idol, Lincoln, only to be frustrated by his ideals and beliefs.

    There is always a voice saying:

    Come in young man, putting your ideals out the door is
    like taking off your

    wellies
    His faith...

Mr. Smith Goes to Washington quotes

  • Senator Joseph Paine: [immediately after introducing the Senate Majority Leader to Smith] You don't have to worry about the others - they are just senators.

  • Jefferson Smith: [Pointing at his new desk at the Senate with great enthusiasm] This is Daniel Webster's desk. Did you know that?

    Senator Joseph Paine: Mhm! He wouldn't mind.
