Mr. Smith Goes to Washington

Originally, this film could only be given 2 stars, but then 4 stars, 1 star for Smith's impassioned speech, and 1 star for the ideas of freedom and democracy conveyed by the film, and the unremitting efforts to make them happen. The spirit that this country lacks and needs to pursue.
The inadequacy of the film is that it is naive and ridiculous to place hope in the villain's conscience discovery and to repent. Victory comes so abruptly that it makes one feel like anything can be accomplished with determination. However, the reality is often cruel enough not to leave a little bit of reverie. Many times, good wishes and expectations are not as good as the temptation brought by money and power.
Maybe the director is trying to give the audience a bright ending, but in its profound sense, it is far less impressive than a failure. As Smith says in the film: The only career worth fighting for is the career lost, and the inspiration that Smith's failure brings to people is equally uplifting.

Mr. Smith Goes to Washington short comments

    The film is like a political fairy tale, hot-blooded and idealistic. The male protagonist is too young too simple, sometimes naïve. He was played badly by American reporters who always wanted to make big news, but in the end, it was his stupid persistence that won him the victory. Although it is an adaptation of a true story, it still lacks a little convincing in the present.

    The newly recruited member of the Boy Scouts, Chief Smith, used his legal right to speak in the Senate for nearly 24 hours, reading the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. The state power capitalist Taylor sells the land dam bill. The good thing about this movie is not that it promotes American democracy and freedom, but it promotes the honesty, kindness and strength that everyone should have as a human being

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.
