Mr. Smith to Washington

The film relies on the awakening of conscience to complete the drama climax and the carnival of justice, but it also fully expresses the out-of-control power and hypocritical freedom. From smugness to hysteria, while constructing a concise and invigorating tit-for-tat, hypocrisy and justice are also stubbornly ingrained in accusations and pursuits. Here, the temperament of this film lies in the courage to pierce the mask of sin. Light the dawn of hope.
The reality of self-interest and self-interest is full of lies and conspiracies. Don Quixote’s persistence and enthusiasm can’t find room for survival, and linger in a cruel society. Some people call it growing up, but some people call it dreams. Shattered. Permeated with the theme of American yearning for freedom, surging with the excitement of idealism, but the ending change is slightly blunt, idealistic castles in the sky.
This is the second collaboration between James Stewart, Kean Arthur, Edward Arnold, and director Frank Capra following "A Dream". A hillbilly in the eyes of a Washingtonian, a puppet in the eyes of politicians and journalists, but in order to maintain justice and freedom, he stood and spoke in Parliament for nearly 24 hours. It's a pity that James didn't win the Oscar. When he watched the final parliamentary drama, he was first excited and then cried.

    I feel like the director didn't think about how to start filming at the end, the ending was too rubbish, and the silver knight's transformation was too fast.
