IMO it is better to be a bit naive like Smith rather that cynical like Senator Paine.kc bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17440862813109808755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-749955731953911627.post-33277897443165273582010-02-22T20:19:49.695-06:002010-02-22T20:19:49.695-06:00Bob, try watching it when you're feeling cynic...Bob, try watching it when you're feeling cynical about having any ideals.

No pretense, it just is what it is. It's one of the few movies I've watched multiple times. First time I saw it was 20 years ago in high school, and I probably see it at least once a year...

I laughed when I watched it. Movies have come a long way since then...but Capra loved to paint pictures of the common man doing his thing...and being a hero.
