I have recently watched Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. The
original senator for Washington
dies and they need a new one. They already have a senator for the state but
they want to bring Mr. Smith to Washington.
At the big meeting they had Mr. Smith and Mr. Bates is present. After Mr. Smith
gives his speech, the music starts going and the children are walking up to the
stage. The kid that was speaking was choking up and couldn’t remember what to
say and how to pronounce these words, while holding a present. Then he said “Ah
heck it’s a brief case Mr. Smith. When he arrives in Washington he visits the memorial and the
Abraham Lincoln building. Mr. Smith decides he wants to go see Mount Vernon in the
morning before he takes the senator seat at noon. While he is sitting in Daniel
Webster’s desk he seems to be uneasy and very nervous.
While watching this movie I have
thought about how this movie was possible to make, since part of this movie
takes place in the Capital Hill. My question is how did they get to use that
room while the government was running? Wouldn’t it be a little better if the
government was shut down? Mr. Smith’s secretary has had enough and she breaks
down and decides to quit, while in the process she starts yelling at Smith and
says he should just go home and leave, and makes him look at the man she’s
going to marry. Taylor
has come and started having a dispute with Mr. Bates and now they want Mr. Smith
to go back to whatever senate he was and Mr. Smith does not like it. They are
taking him out of the senate because he is taking money from people and I guess
being a fraud. They are all putting up signs saying like send Smith to jail and
that he makes people starve.
This movie has a good impact on
society. It is so easy for publicity to change its story. In real life the
people we vote to be in the chair has a choice to obey the law and obey what we
expect. If they do not do things to the way we all like then the whole public
starts getting hot headed and want that one person out of the chair or get
charged with things. What we don’t know is were these people that are in the
chair using someone else’s advice and have to obey what they say or they face
getting terminated? We don’t know what to expect. In Mr. Smith’s shoes that’s
what he faces and now he may go to jail over it. He was just a man that was
good at what he does and then they brought him there. They did it to
themselves. The entire movie he was getting all this crap and stuff to deal
with. I think the theme of this movie is that don’t follow what other people
say, stick to your gut and do what’s right. In fact Mr. Smith does this in the
end of this movie. He goes and speaks the truth.
