7 points. A movie that seems to be bloody, but is actually childish. The male pig is caught in the idealistic world of the ego, and only shouts slogans. This kind of cockroach Xiaoqiang suddenly broke out in a small universe and killed the big BOSS. It is really boring to make a political drama. At the end of the story, the director can only use the villain's conscience to force the story back to a happy ending. It is too simplistic to interpret democracy in this way.

Watching this film, I quickly thought of the recent "Lincoln". The male pig thinks he is upright and will never compromise, but it is precisely in the film that his spirit is placed on Lincoln. In order to liberate black slaves, he even sold officials and other acts. do it. Idealists are only suitable for being put on the altar. If they don't know how to compromise, they can't achieve anything. It is estimated that many passionate young people will not understand if they want to break their brains.

    James Stewart, who was still ruthless at the time, was very suitable to play such a kind-hearted, innocent and persistent person. Jean Arthur is so dazzling. From the beginning, he was sophisticated and mature, complained about the boredom of work, and ridiculed Smith's innocence. Later, he was gradually infected by him, and then he was so cute and jealous, drinking with his boyfriend in the bar, and resentfully talking about the opponent of Shimei's plan. ... such acting, no wonder she is Capra's favorite actress

    I am reminded of Ibsen's play The Public Enemy.

Mr. Smith Goes to Washington quotes

  • James Taylor: Hendricks, get the hoi polloi excited. Have them send protests, letters, wires, anything you like.

  • H.V. Kaltenborn, Himself: [Speaking into a CBS Radio microphone] This is H.V. Kaltenborn speaking. Half of official Washington is here to see democracy's finest show: the filibuster. The right to talk your head off. The American privilege of free speech in its most dramatic form. The least man in that chamber, once he gets and holds that floor, by the rules, can hold it and talk as long as he can stand on his feet. Providing always; first, that he does not sit down, second, that he does not leave the chamber or stop talking. The galleries are packed! In the diplomatic gallery, are the envoys of two dictator powers. They have come here to see what they can't see at home: democracy in action.
