Mr. Smith

I'll start by stating that i absolutely hate watching movies on YouTube- almost as much as I hate blogging about them.

Overall, though, I thought this movie wasn’t half bad. It showed how screwball politics can be, and how Donald Trump is probably running the entire country. Smith plays the innocent and passionate good guy who gets screwed by his lifelong hero. Trump/Taylor rules all his little political puppets and convinces them that the "compromises" he is suggesting are for the greater good. Smith catches on, throws a fit, Taylor doesn’t like it, and tries to have Smith kicked out. Smith wants to run away and give up, but his secretary is there to pick up the pieces and convinces him to stay and fight. He launches a filibuster that takes FOREVER, and Paine tries to kill himself-but he can’t even do that right- so he goes back to Washington and clears Smith's name.

After seeing this movie i realized that anyone who ever wanted to be a Senator has got it all wrong- being the rich manipulative one is where it’s at.
