I had my own Mr. Smith experience about seven years ago now when I vacationed in D.C with my parents. It was so neat to see all the buildings and monuments I'd studied about all those years in school. This isn't about my journey, though, it's about Jefferson Smith's journey in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.
This is one of my favorite movies starring one of my favorite actors, thus it was a great way to end the 4th of July weekend. Jefferson Smith comes to Washington D.C. a naive junior senator who is put in the Senate after one of the congressmen from his state died. The only reason Jefferson Smith was appointed was because some powerful Senators felt they could control him. Davis proves them wrong though as he learns the ropes of speaking/voting in the Senate. It is a journey of self discovery, a journey that all must go through someday. Davis learns to stand up for what he believes in and to never back down. In this day and age of so many injustices, it's a lesson we can all take to heart.
Mr. Smith came in at number 29 on the list. My husband and I both gave it a thumb's up.
