Every civil servant and even Chinese should take a look

More and more I realize that before the 1950s, there were many films in Hollywood that are worth watching. Although the films of that era paid more attention to dialogue, the dialogue was often written well, and the characters were very three-dimensional, even small roles.

This film full of political implications is definitely worth watching by all civil servants and all Chinese people. A rare political film has a sense of comedy, and the love line between the male protagonist and the female protagonist is also very delicate and moving. Many of the lines are classics. The speeches delivered by the parliament influenced later generations of "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman", etc., but the appeal was slightly insufficient, and the reversal was also expected. I originally thought of 100,000 Boy Scouts to surround the Capitol, etc., using the power of the masses It also shows that the majority of democracy, and then the male protagonist has the opportunity to go back for a week to verify, and finally it is reversed. The ending is a bit rushed now.

    A glimpse of American government. When the idealism of a blank piece of paper affects the interests of corrupt politicians and his manipulators, they are madly splashed with ink, and they can only protect themselves through political rules and the conscience of the other party. This film is actually not idealistic, and the negative side is more able to deceive most people. The contrast between good and evil forces is so desperate and suffocating, but Americans have always been confident in the system. Looking at it today, it is doubtful that most people still think that way.

    "There can't be a country that can make these constitutions work if you haven't got your people to tell the difference between human rights and punching you." When it comes to celebrating the American spirit, I think this film is the real meaning industry conscience.

  • 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.
