Review of Mr. Smith Goes to Washington

A true moment of repentance by Senator Joseph Paine at the end of the movie. This is the best scene in the movie by far. It would cost him every bit of worldly fame, honor, and comfort. Yet, the cause of truth wins out. I think this movie also reminds us that corruption is not just a present day reality. Corruption exists because people at there core have sin. No one is exempt. There has never been a true golden age in America, rather we have always needed and continue to need salvation.
