Frankz Capfra
So here's an idea I had a few weeks ago. What if American filmmaker Frank Capra and German surrealist Franz Kafka had been combined into the same person?
Creating such classic films as...
It's a Wonderful Metamorphosis!
In small-town America, a young Gregor Bailey is forced to take over his father's ailing Building & Loan to prevent the town from being controlled by an evil Mr. Potter. After years of unappreciated toil at the bank, Gregor declares that he wishes he had been born a roach. To Gregor's surprise, he suddenly finds that he has, in fact, transformed into a giant bug. As he wanders around town, seeking help, no one recognizes him or even remembers the good deeds he has done for the town. Eventually, feeling nothing but disgust for himself and the meaninglessness of all of existence, he crawls into the offices of Mr. Potter, who promptly squashes him.
And such unfinished literary masterpieces as...
Mr. Smith Goes to Trial
Josefferson S., a young boy scout leader from small-town America, is abruptly arrested for an unspecified reason and forced to navigate a never-ending maze of existential bureaucracy. No one will tell Josef what he has been accused of or why he is being held. However, determined to make the best of it, Josef decides to filibuster his way through the system by lecturing anyone who will listen about truth, justice, and the American dream, explaining that he has been set up by a corrupt political machine, and that if only the people of America could hear his pleas, they would exonerate him. [The direction the ending would have taken is unclear, but scholars speculate that Josef would then have suddenly turned into a giant bug and been killed.]
