Purpose

__ **Movie Reviews**

Purpose: __ to show how the government is corrupt

__A Year in the Dark:__ "...the people are tricked into turning against our hero, the 'common man' who represents them"

__Roy Ulrich:__ " The image of the naive newcomer holding the Senate floor until he collapses in fatigue endures as a portrait of how government should work."

"...it encourages rampant individualism and obstructionism and has impaired the Senate's ability to meet its constitutional responsibilities."


 * __Question:__**
 * What emotional responses did //Mr. Smith Goes To Washington// inspire in you? Was Smith right when he referenced his father's saying, "Dad always used to say the only causes worth fighting for were the lost causes."?
