- K1t5un320 maggio 2025I don't know why people say this show has this-or-that political vibes when it's more than obvious the theme of the show is about working together and being friends with your neighbor, that's it. The line that gets this show it's criticism is the tear down your fence line, which in modern political climate is a touchy subject. I get it, borders are vital to the survival of a nation, but that's not what this show was getting at and it's an unfair to hold it against the entire movie when there are much better themes in place, such as the power of a true grass-root movement to overthrow oligarchy and how billionaires manipulate grass-root movements to suit their own agendas. Now, if we actually rate Meet John Doe for what it truly is, without the shade cast on it, it's a bit of a sappy flick with some cheesy scenes, such as Cooper's make-believe baseball scene or the girl gets sick and faints into her love interest's arms trope, but the director integrates all the cheesy scenes to make it work for the story and the acting for silver screen is top notch making this an absolutely recommended movie, with one caveat... if you're sensitive to the suicide subject, I might tell you to give it a pass. The silver screen is a treasure trove of good stories brought to life and while this one is good, it's not a must watch. I honestly don't know how they got the producers to sign onto a script where the hook and pivotal climax is based upon the idea of suicide, but it was handled with care and weaved nicely into the story. With that, I say this is a solid 4/5 and a thumbs up!
- Mark Laris5 gg faMeet John Doe is one of the standout films of Hollywood’s Golden Age and features exceptional performances from Barbara Stanwyck and Gary Cooper. It captures a spirit of innocence and idealism that feels largely missing from 21st-century America. Its message may be more timely now than ever.

In una piccola città degli Stati Uniti, un giornale cambia proprietario ed alcuni redattori vengono licenziati. Per vendicarsi del licenziamento, una giovane cronista inserisce, nella sua ultima rubrica, una falsa lettera di un ipotetico John Doe. Nella lettera l'uomo annuncia che, nella notte di Natale, si getterà dal grattacielo del municipio per protestare contro le autorità. Il film, noto anche con il titolo di "I dominatori della metropoli" esprime in modo esemplare il sincero populismo roosveltiano di Capra e del suo sceneggiatore Robert Riskin. Famosa la scena finale della convention (girata con sette macchine da presa) con la tirata evangelica di Cooper.
