Review of Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939) by Joe I — 29 Dec 2011
If I could choose one movie, more than any other, which was not only brilliant, but highly significant, it would be this one. We live an an age when cynicism about politics is rife, when people who get involved to change things for the better are more often than not dismissed as naive; this is a film which everyone who is cynical towards politics should see.
It doesn't hide the fact that there is corruption in politics, but it does say quite clearly that there is a point and a value to standing up to it.
