When we talk about Mr. Smith goes to Washington, I don’t know if much is outdated. I found it an amazing movie in its simplicity and candid nature about how politics is played in this country. It is a shame that this problem has been seen for so long and nobody has done anything about it. I loved the fact it was a simple American man who loved his country and tried to make it better and found it a different animal. The way it views the free press is right on and that is a shame because they are right they don’t get re-elected and so why print the facts or what really happens. With the discussion of the political machine that is what scares me the most because they are still around and cane be found in Chicago, San Francisco, New York and other cities. We do not have to look far for corruption just last year Jefferson City officials were being looked at. I believe the only thing truly out dated would be the cars and train. This movie was great it should what be idealize and what is written on marble but those in congress take it all for granted and believe it is for them to play around with. I found it perfect because you have a loving American going to Washington and what happened he sees what a mess it is and how the dreams of founding fathers have been left to die under the marble and poetic words. The ideas that the movie presents are all still relevant in today’s political theatre and we need to move as Americans to make sure our democracy is for us not subjugated to one person’s interests.
