Editing Frank Capra (section)

=== Introduction ===
'''Frank Russell Capra''' (1897–1991) was an Italian-American film director, producer, and screenwriter best known for films such as ''It’s a Wonderful Life'', ''Mr. Smith Goes to Washington'', and ''Mr. Deeds Goes to Town''. While his films are remembered for their emotional uplift and populist themes, Capra himself exhibited characteristics that align closely with '''Asperger syndrome''': moral rigidity, emotional restraint, literalism in storytelling, obsessive structure, and difficulty with unstructured social interaction.

In my framework, Capra represents the '''Asperger moral storyteller'''—a filmmaker not driven by interpersonal warmth or psychological depth, but by '''structured ethics, idealistic formalism, and symbolic narrative logic'''.
