Page "Frank Capra" Paragraph 2

After World War II, however, Capra's career declined as his subjects were more out of tune with the mood of audiences.

Critics described his films as being " simplistic " or " overly idealistic.

" However, the public nonetheless loved his films, especially during the Great Depression years, when audiences needed uplifting themes of inspiration.

His pictures let viewers witness " a triumph of the individual over corrupt leaders ", and experience " inherent qualities of kindness and caring for others.

" Most of his best works have been revived, and are today considered timeless fables filled with love and respect for the struggles of the common man.
