Um, something about America for the fourth of July... Bruce Springsteen. There it is! I usually don't like James Stewart in movies, but I absolutely adored him in this. One of the greatest acting and scene in all of cinematic history. Phenomenal film
Filibuster at its finest...and longest.
"A man may die, nations may rise and fall, but an idea lives on". This is the greatest American film in the entire history of cinema. No other film can hold up the ideals of America while so strongly criticizing the political regime that currently wages war against the American people. “You see, boys forget what their country means by just reading The Land of the Free in history books. Then they get to be men they forget even more. Liberty's too precious a thing to be buried in books, Miss Saunders. Men should hold it up in front of them every single day of their lives and say: I'm free to think and to speak. My ancestors couldn't, I can, and my children will. Boys ought to grow up remembering that.”
