In the nearly 80 years since Frank Capra's
Mr. Smith Goes To Washington was released, the landscape of American politics has drastically been overhauled, to the point that the overall political stances of the countries two primary political parties, the Republicans the Democrats, have now got completely opposite political aspirations compared to where they were in 1939. But one thing was true then as it is today, the general public does not like politicians, they seem them as crude, conniving and not to be trusted. Some things never change and the core ideas of
Mr. Smith Goes To Washington, namely standing firm to your morals in the face of corruption, still very much ring true to this day.
