Mr. Smith Goes to Washington: Passion in Politics

With the Presidential election looming, and the Canadian election only two days away I thought I would post this scene from my favorite political film "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington". Not only is it a tremendous powerhouse acting scene between Jimmy Stewart and Claude Rains, it depicts politics in a passionate way. Today with so many pundits and polarizing party principles, Frank Capra puts things in perspective by exposing a corrupt Washington, but also giving an idealistic view of what democracy could be. This was the idea behind Frank Capra's masterpiece, by depicting a world as what is was but suggesting it could strive to be something better. Don't forget to vote!
