don’t mind me — just trying to watch every single movie that the simpsons parodied. will be done in *checks schedule* 96 years
i am convinced that there is no pain in this world that cannot be momentarily remedied by watching a jimmy stewart performance
one of my favorite john cassavetes quotes is “maybe there never really was an america, there was just frank capra”
In the middle of Mr Smith Goes to Washington, our overenthusiastic but lovable protagonist Jefferson Smith has this to say:
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.
That's beautiful. That piece of dialogue right there convinced me once and for all that Frank Capra's film had its heart in the right place. After that, I dropped all my doubts and allowed the film's over-optimistic but admirable sentiments to wash over me.
It's worth noting that…
understanding that this is a "screwball comedy" also understanding that "this made me feel deeply depressed about our terrifying government and the horrible political machinations that mean that most of our legislators do not actually work for us..."
I hope AOC never gets mr. smith'd
also I cannot believe when they ran over the kids???? lmao
“i wasn’t given a brain just to tell a boy ranger what time it is.”
jean arthur looking at jimmy stewart with tears in her eyes good god if that didn’t kill me.
Did not remember the extended montage of Mr. Smith going around Washington punching everybody
ryan gosling saw this movie and jimmy's hair and immediately called damien chazelle to discuss the look for sebastian in la la land
A movie that, by the end of its 129 minutes, finally completely succeeds at wearing down your defenses.
is it just me or does anyone else think that if the Hays Code didn't exist, James Stewart could have dropped the most glorious F-bombs in this film
