    Facing the whole huge system with sincerity and loneliness, I have no resistance to such a theme. American theme, but not boring at all. As an outsider, Jefferson (the same name as Jefferson, one of the three founders of the country) entered the political center of the intricate evil and guarded the justice in his mind with his pureness. The most exciting, of course, was the lengthy speech in the Senate. The character setting of Secretary Saunders eases the sharp confrontation and conflict, but...

    Capra is really not my cup of tea. He teased me but didn't laugh, incited me but couldn't incite him. Except for the [Beautiful Life] that everyone loves, he really didn't have a movie that I particularly enjoyed. While his themes are noble, his films are great, and he's a very good filmmaker. //Tina, is there something wrong with...

    There are no Taylor-style figures in China, but there is a Taylor-style group. Smith rationally used the rules to gain a voice, and no one can take away this power; in China, you just need to shut up with an order. Smith's victory was a bit sudden, and the ending was a bit...

    "Mr. Lincoln had his Taylors and Paines. So did every other man who ever tried to lift his thought up off the ground. Odds against them didn't stop those men. They were fools that way. All the good that ever came into this world came from fools with faith like...

    1. Procedural justice and the struggle of idealists, the American dream is universal. 2. Filibuster's paragraphs are exciting, parallel editing, and Stewart's performance is convincing. 3. The dissolving + montage when visiting the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial, and the scene where Sanders encourages the male protagonist is the most touching. 4. The scene where you can’t hold your hat when you meet and answer the phone is too cute. 5. He heard [the friendship lasts forever], as...

    Every time I feel tired of myself, I always cheer up when I see such a movie. Although knowing it is just a story, it still gives me great encouragement while crying, and allows me to persist in continuing what I want to...

    Childish dreams. Justice can never be maintained by the occasional glare of humanity, no matter in the past, present or future. PS: Congressman Strom Thurmond once tried to use the filibuster allowed in the Senate rules to stop the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1957. He gave continuous speeches for 24 hours and 18 minutes, creating a record of single obstruction in American...

    Long live democracy

    "Mr. Smith to Washington" can be said to be an excellent interpretation of the democratic political system in the United States, and the film's other name "Long Live Democracy" can be said to be the main theme. ".
    Perhaps what Americans are most proud of is their democratic system, but the film...

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.
