Extractions: Pronunciation Key Capra, Frank , American film director, b. Bisaquino, Sicily. One of the preeminent Hollywood directors of the 1930s and 40s, he produced idealistic populist movies that, sometimes amusingly and sometimes sentimentally but nearly always optimistically, celebrate the virtues of the common American. His family emigrated to the United States in 1903 and settled in Los Angeles. Starting in the movies in the early 1920s, he became a feature film director with Harry Langdon comedies, achieved commercial success with Platinum Blonde It Happened One Night Capra's naively decent American heroes triumph over the forces of greed, cynicism, corruption, or self-doubt in such films as Mr. Deeds Goes to Town (1936; Academy Award), Mr. Smith Goes to Washington Meet John Doe (1941), and the richly textured classic It's a Wonderful Life (1946). Among his movie-making innovations were accelerated pacing, conversational and sometimes overlapping dialogue, and previews that gauged audience reaction. Capra's many other films include Lost Horizon You Can't Take It With You (1938; Academy Award)

Extractions: When Frank Capra died, it was inevitable that It's a Wonderful Life would be trotted out to demonstrate his life-affirming, joyous love of people. The film is It's a Wonderful Life would not have been in the public domain for so many years and thus would not have become, during the '80s, as omnipresent as Christmas carols and shopping days til Xmas. Granted, it might have joined Miracle on 34th St. and Christmas Carol as beloved, but once a year, holiday movie traditions. But because TV stations were able for so long to repeat it at no cost, it became a Christmas classic ad nauseum Yet reading It's a Wonderful Life as wholesomely heart-warming takes uncritically the notion that it celebrates the triumph of small-town sweetness over impersonal modernity. Far from being the feel-good movie of 1947, It's a Wonderful Life is in fact one of Capra's most relentlessly depressing works. The film's framing story indeed draws on the backward-looking myth of the small town favored by Hollywood's not-notably rural filmmakers. But as with the Wizard of Oz This picture of the corruption and the death of small-town society is equaled in film only by Orson Welles' Magnificent Ambersons , a movie given big head start by novelist Booth Tarkington, who specialized in chronicling the corrosive effects of modernization.

Extractions: Frank CAPRA "meilleur réalisateur" "Grande dame d'un jour", "Vous ne l'emporterez pas avec vous", L'extravagant Mr Deeds", " New-York/Miami " " Il réitére cet exploit en 1938 avec " Vous ne l'emporterz pas avec vous" (4 Oscars). Paradoxalement, son chef-d'oeuvre "La vie est belle" " La vie est belle ". Ses films sont aujourd'hui considérés comme un exemple des "Valeurs Américaines". On parle de la "Touch CAPRA". Beaucoup de réalisateurs comme par exemple Coppola, les frères Cohen...se sont inspirés de ses films et les écoles de cinéma parlent de lui comme une référence. Frank CAPRA aura laissé derrière lui une empreinte en plus de trente films en donnant au public un pur bonheur, ce qui est, tout compte fait, le but principal du cinéma. CAPRA a été le grand représentant de la période appelée "L'âge d'Or Américain". Ces années où l'on savait encore produire d'excellentes histoires avec des comédiens exceptionnels tels que Cary Grant, James Stewart... Les films de CAPRA sont enchanteurs, émouvants, captivants, bref formidables. Ils ont le mérite de faire rêver les gens pendant 90 minutes. A l'heure actuelle où le cinéma américain réalise des films à gros budgets et à effets spéciaux, Frank CAPRA donne encore une belle leçon à ces réalisateurs par sa filmographie faîte de chefs-d'oeuvre. Car s'il fallait conclure sur une note optimiste sur CAPRA, je dirais que tout l'argent nécessaire aux films actuels, tous les effets spéciaux ne pourront jamais remplacer des films faits avec son coeur et ses sentiments.
