Review of Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939) by Becca E — 09 Feb 2009
Brilliant movie. Jimmy Stewart - also brilliant. Makes you really want to believe in the American ideal and believe that it could still exist today. Beautifully movie that every American should see.
"You see, boys forget what their country means by just reading The Land of the Free in history books. Then they get to be men they forget even more. Liberty's too precious a thing to be buried in books, Miss Saunders. Men should hold it up in front of them every single day of their lives and say: I'm free to think and to speak. My ancestors couldn't, I can, and my children will. Boys ought to grow up remembering that.".
"Either I'm dead right, or I'm crazy!".
