The Real Reality of the American Democracy Dream

There is no real democracy, and American democracy is also operated by money in the background. As a senior American official said when commenting on the eavesdropping incident in the United States, bad things can be done, but the most important thing is not to let people know about it. This is the real American Democracy. The ending of the movie seems to be hinted by the director. The happy ending in the movie is obtained by the discovery of one's conscience, not the truth and justice. It only exists in the movie. The efforts of ordinary people are not behind the system As long as autocratic countries all over the world learn to give their people superficial human rights and democracy, they can continue their (shameless) rule with peace of mind.

    7.5; The part that Wo most appreciates Capra is that he will treat the people as mobs and fools from beginning to end, and put the so-called democracy on the self-mutation and collapse of the upper class. It is really too American, so strong and powerful. The Stars and Stripes Never Fall with Anana

    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 also dulls the sharp edge. Jefferson is the representative of the Boy Scouts, and what got him into trouble is also the proposal for the children, the Boy Scouts, the children and the new ones. Capra is just too kind and not willing to let everyone down. So the hasty ending only completes the redemption and completion of the image of the other main character, the former warrior Joseph. I can only pin my hopes on the next generation and the accidental resurrection of humanity, and think about how desperate it is.

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.
