After watching "Mr. Diez's Into the City", this 1936 movie is really wonderful. It is recommended to everyone in life who is regarded as a "freak". In the movie, the media deliberately cast a stranger who is out of place with the city into a madman and a laughing stock; take him to court to take his property, and the court witnesses also have a pair of old women who only think they are normal people...you will Don’t you think it’s absurd and funny? In real life, many people who think they are savvy in the arts like to laugh at the strangers who they don’t understand. This aspect is due to narrow ignorance, and more importantly, as Mr. Diez said, "People like to get happiness by hurting and laughing at others." It seems that we will have to rectify the name of the freak group including ourselves in the future.

Mr. Deeds Goes to Town quotes

  • Judge May: Mr. Deeds, you haven't yet touched upon the most important point: this rather fantastic idea of yours to want to give away your entire fortune. It is, to say the least, most uncommon.

    Longfellow Deeds: Oh, yes, yes, I was getting to that, your honor. Suppose you were living in a small town and getting along fine and suddenly somebody dropped $20,000,000 in your lap. Supposing you discovered that all that money was messing up your life, was bringing a lot of vultures around your neck, and making you lose faith in everybody. Now, you'd be a little worried, wouldn't you? You'd feel that you had a - a hot potato in your hand and you'd want to drop it.

  • Longfellow Deeds: Now, my plan was very simple. I was going to give each family 10 acres, a horse, a cow and some seed. And if they worked the farm for three years, it's theirs. Now, if that's crazy, maybe I ought to be sent to an institution; but, I don't think it is.
