Americans are the nation of pathetic patriotism,
but not rarely mixed up with some more or less strong criticism of their own
system and the greed it is based on. When you combine all those elements
together, you get a story about a small man’s struggle against the system and
money called ”Mr Smith goes to Washington”.
James Stewart is one of those actors who can
carry this kind of role with ease, creating the sympathy of an average viewer,
while the story remains everlasting, despite some rather naive and pathetic
outcomes and subplots.
”Mr Smith goes to Washington” was a classic movie
for the entire family and still pretty much is just that.
