Italian Neorealism

Week 3-

Italian neorealism is also known as the golden age of Italian cinema which is a movement a style of film that tells stories that are about the working class and poor class which started at the end of War World 2.

Most film are filmed on the spot and using un-professional actors. Most films under this category are based on daily conditions of post war sufferings the pain; poverty and the down full of economy. 

Italian Neorealism had made an impact for many script writers and directors and also had an impact on the French new wave and all over the world.

   

One of my favourite films from the Italian Neorealism in olden day cinema was "Bicycle Thieves" which talk about an "poor father searching post-World War II Rome for his stolen bicycle, without which he will lose the job which was to be the salvation of his young family."

I feel that this film is one of the classic when it comes to Italian Neorelism.

For the modern day cinema my pick is "The pursuit of happyness" which talks about " a struggling salesman takes custody of his son as he's poised to begin a life-changing professional endeavor."

 I feel that this movie is one of the modern best pick for Italian Neorealism as it talks about the poverty and suffering, a classic story that touches my heart.
