Italian Neorealism and Independent Cinema

I think that in Brick the characters are more complex and ambiguous. Do the right thing relied heavily on dialogue between the characters than Hollywood film. Brick talks of drugs and violence and similarly Do the Right Thing covers violence and hatred and these issues are not usually covered in mainstream media.

Italian Neorealism- Screenwriters's their greatest single influence was the anti-fascism that marked WWII'S immediate postwar period
-Some key elements are an emphasis on real lives, and entirely or largely non-professional cast. and a focus on collectivity rather than the individual.
-Neorealism pushed filmakers out of the studio and on to the streets, the camera emphasis was away from fantasy and toward reality.

-Italian realism inspired american independent cinema by pushed ideas of emphasis on reality and addressing issues that normally aren't covered my mainstream media.

We are at a wedding and something dramatic and unexpected is about to go wrong which will impact the lives of everyone in attendance. An ex-boyfriend of the bride brings a weapon to the wedding and holds everyone hostage. It brings out the best in the husband because he protects his wife with his life and it brings out the worst in certain family members that offer the criminal the bride in exchange for their life.  At the end the police finally come and the betrayals are embraced and the wedding continues and the wife couldn't be more sure of who she chose to marry.

Concept 77 #2

If I was writing a story in an earlier time period in order o keep the overall budget low and attractive to a producer with limited funds is by making the actors provide their own coutumes of their parents's old cloth or a vintage cloth they have. I would also set the movie in an older neighborhood so that the set design would be that neighborhood. I would do everything in my ability to use the resources I already have instead of spending money.

Concept 76 #3

The Princess Bride is in the adventure, comedy and family genere. Adventure films use their action scenes preferably to display and explore exotic locations in an energetic way. Comedy films are stories in which characters focus on humor. Family movies are warm and very sensored and convey an overall message of good.
