Neorealism -Alex Travell

Neorealism-  Italian and World Cinema!
Neorealism is an Italian style of film that originated in the 1940s. During this time, film was still being perfected(it always is; however, it was to a greater extent back then), so new ideas and styles were developing left and right. Before this movement, also known as the Golden Age of film, films mainly consisted of idealistic lifestyles. For instance, they conveyed wealth and prosperity. When Neorealism came about, films began portraying what life was like in lower classes. They would show the hardships in which lower class citizens had to face to get simple things like a loaf of bread for their family. This movement was a major turning point in filmmaking, and it still appears in almost every film made today.

Through the introduction of things like jump cuts and free style edits, the first films made during the movement absolutely thrived.

This movement is one of the major reasons why today's film industry is so diverse.

Ghost Algebra (Janie Geiser ,2009)

Ghost Algebra (Janie Geiser ,2009) The visual aspects of this experimental film make me very uncomfortable. Don't get me wrong, I think it's very impressive, but I'm just not a big fan of this kind of film. I am more into smooth films that don't strain my eyes, for those films make me feel different. Changed. For instance, after watching The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, along with a dozen National Geographic films and shows, I have never been the same. Every film I watch now, I can't help but wonder how they made it. I have watched too many videos of BTS of movies like The Conjuring, IT, and Infinity War. They just aren't choppy and unsettling like experimental films.

Inciting Incident

The Theory of Everything. Being one of the best movies I have ever seen, this movie also encompasses one the most intense inciting incidents I have ever seen. Stephen Hawking, played by Eddie Redmayne, is one of, if not the smartest mind at Cambridge. He continuously carries out his required tasks with flying colors; however, he does it all will not even breaking a sweat. After multiple instances involving tripping and falling, Hawking decides to look for answers. He later finds out that he has Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. This is the moment he figures out that his life will never be the same. The movie later follows the track of the process in which he must endure to continue to live. It's the biggest moment in his life. The movie. It's the inciting incident.
