Basically

Basically, the people who watched this film came for Oscar.

I only scored two points.

Basically, I have a relatively cold personality. I can't be a banker like his father, but I don't believe in the class harmony theory promoted here. In the education we received when we were young, capitalists wanted to eat people, and the proletariat wanted to be eaten by people. This contradiction is inherently irreconcilable, but the bourgeoisie will find ways to put a tender veil on this cannibalism system. Call this sugar-coated cannonball in our days. Basically speaking, this kind of contradiction is irreconcilable, and the ultimate solution can only be solved by the proletarian revolution after it completely overthrows the bourgeois power.

Basically, the first half of the above discussion is not a problem. Although I admit that a considerable part of my education since childhood is nonsense, this part of my education is still very good, and it truly exposes the operation of this society. Some of the mechanisms of, so we have the ability to see through the illusion of the enemy from an early age.

But-please note that this is very important. I did not say that I think there must be a revolution. On the contrary, democratic countries have a very key factor called the legal system, so there is a restraining mechanism for capitalists' natural cannibalistic nature. With taxes, benefits, and the legal system, money is naturally a halter. The film was shot in 1938. The Second World War has not yet started. The whole world does not know how to deal with the economic crisis. It is still unknown whether it will be based on the Soviet Union or Nazi Germany. Hollywood is like a headless fly. I don't know that only Keynesianism can save the United States, so I put my hope on the harmonica-style theory of class harmony, which makes this film a great discount to us who have experienced the socialist revolution.

In fact, I like Stewart’s other films very much, such as Mr. Smith’s coming to Washington, It’s a wonderful life, they are all good. It is recommended that colleagues who have not watched the other two films go to watch.

    Capra is always so idealistic, and many character settings are commonly used, such as a human judge. James Stewart and Jean Arthur can be rated as the most suitable on-screen couple.

    The straightforward preaching is supported by Capra's short paragraphs. Is this a comical drama or a magical horse?

You Can't Take It with You quotes

  • Penny Sycamore: Um, eh, have you any hobbies Mrs. Kirby?

    Mrs. Anthony P. Kirby: Well uh, as a matter of fact I have. I'm a student of Occultism.

    Penny Sycamore: What's that?

    Paul Sycamore: That's spiritualism dear.

    Penny Sycamore: Spiritualism? Oh why Mrs. Kirby, I'm surprised. Why, everyone knows spiritualism is a fake.

    Mrs. Anthony P. Kirby: I beg your pardon?

    Paul Sycamore: Now Penny, you mustn't criticize other people's hobbies. You've got one or two of your own you know.

    Penny Sycamore: [happily] Yes, but not silly ones!

    [Mrs. Kirby looks very offended, Penny grabs her mouth upon realizing that she inadvertantly and accidentally made small of her, and Mr. Kirby agreeably smirks and silently relishes in the fun made at his wife's expense]

  • Boris Kolenkhov: The perfect hobby should improve the body as well as the mind. The Romans were great people. Why? What was their hobby? Wrestling. In wrestling you must think quick with the mind and act quick with the body.

    Anthony P. Kirby: Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, I-I agree with you. When I was young I was pretty good at it myself. Unfortunately as one grows older...

    Boris Kolenkhov: Foolishness! Once a wrestler, you will never forget. I have not done it in six years, but I forget niet! Look:

    [suddenly causes a minor scene by picking up Mr. Kirby over his shoulders in a wrestling move, spinning him around, and throwing him down on the floor while everyone scrambles to their feet in shock/confusion/assistance/etc]

    Alice Sycamore: Sit down Mr. Kirby.

    [while brushing him off]

    Anthony P. Kirby: My glasses, where are my glasses?

    Penny Sycamore: Here they are. Oh Mr. Kirby, they're broken.

    Boris Kolenkhov: I am sorry, but when you wrestle again Mr. Kirby, you will of course not wear your glasses.

    Anthony P. Kirby: [frustrated] I do not *intend* to wrestle again.

    Grandpa Martin Vanderhof: That was very silly Kolenkhov, I'm sorry you did that. I'm sorry Mr. Kirby.
