Video Essay: How Italian Neorealism Brought the Grit of the Streets to the Big Screen 

Awesome video man, very helpful. Thank you :) keep up the good work

I know this is six years old, but this really helped me with one of my film papers and I learned a lot from this RU-vid video. Thank you a bunch.

i had an exam coming up YOUR VIDEO SAVED ME!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH

Such a wonderful video. Thank u very much for all the info you have provided.

great video! I'm very interested in the Italian neorealism movements and the nouvelle vague. Amazing films and great directors. Just one comment: your pronunciation of telefoni bianchi is wrong. The ch in Bianchi is pronounced as Bee-ahn-kee

so fantastic!

bicycle thieves ❤️ (ladri di biciclette)

Luchino is pronounced "Lukino" but great video!!

Thanks for this insightful video. I would like to add that neorealism also influenced a lot of film makers outside Italy, like Alfred Hitchcock whose The Wrong Man (1950) is clearly influenced by it.

Hey guys, this is unrelated to this video but I was wondering if you guys might be able to do a video on how old school movies made opticals. Fades, titles swipes etc... How they done it in the 30's. I'm guessing they just faded the projector while printing, but that is just a guess. I can't seem to find much content on the subject on you tube. Just an idea. Thanks.

Great essay! Just one question, Mussolini founded the Venice FF, which astonished me, I search for it on the internet, but info is nowhere to be found. They are talking about the Mussolini Cup - the competition of the best foreign film, but that's it. I believe that maybe they try to avoid mention it in history of Venice FF?

Awesome :)

Google translate has a very good pronunciation feature of Italian words. Could have been used in here.

thanks

The intro music?

The women in the White Telephome films were absolutely stunning.

‘Modern drama is not a mere emotional entertainment. it is a source of ideas, a cultural and educational factor, an agency for political propaganda, a social institution, and above all it is a literature. What part will the new African play in modern drama? On its physical side [it] can contribute strong fast rhythm speedy action, expressive vigorous gesture and movement.... We want dramatic representation of African Serfdom, Oppression, Exploitation, and Metamorphosis...The African dramatist has an important part to fill. He can say and portray things that African politicians and demagogues dare not touch upon: he can expose evil and corruption, and not suffer libel as newspaper men may -- and do: he can guide and preach to his people as preachers cannot. To do this he must be an artist before a propagandist: a philosopher before a reformer, a psychologist before a patriot: be true to his African “Self”’ (Dhlomo, 1933)

greet job

Brilliant. However, bianchi in Italian is pronounced bee-an-ki. First lesson in Italian pronunciation.

Bicycle thieve's music perfectly suits the video

You can tell that you got your information from Wikipedia. Italian Neorealism didn't peter out in the 50's because Italy was thriving. It was pretty much outlawed in the country. No filmaker could acquire funding for any neorealistic projects. Do some more research. I know this is 'No Film School', but that doesn't give you an excuse to spread false information.

Fellini is not considered Italian neorealist? My favorite is La Strada :) it has some fantasy elements to it though...

holy fuck can somebody tell what the background music is?

This is a films modality which I appreciate. Sometime later, a couple of decades, many films began to reflect more the influence of a Mystery Babylon religion; of an aeon of Anti-Christ, by the lingo of the times; for us, Pre-Avatar Aeon is very good... One can perhaps appreciate, with such foreign films, how so-called Americanism is actually Illusory; such, with the deceptive tribal marking, have generally gotten "off track" of the race. U.S.A. also isn't really a legitimate "marking", in this sense. To get back "on track", inhabitants of this land should realize, this is Scotland; the entire patriarchal attribution became Celtic, when the Anglican Patriarchal Attribution was removed from the earth; when Britain was removed, in the Sublime World sense, and was replaced by Scotland. Very incredibly low vitality is the result of a patriarchal dyssync; of an Eternal, or near-eternal problem caused by those rogue revolutionaries. Like many of motorcycle, or street gangs, they were consigned to Perdition. In other words, the mode of the Revolution, murdering to get gain of a rich, entire continent, was not a pardonable but an Unpardonable offense. It is possible then, for greater vitality and renewal, to get back "on track"; forsaking English for Scottish Gaelic, and changing the Name of the land to its True Name, Nova Scotia or Alba Nuadh as a basic measure, this would be a very incredibly great deal better... There is no haven, nor place of escape, from Karma and Dharma, which is largely the belief of Americanism, under an illusory patriarchal conception.

please the italian correct pronunciation salut from France

bdw as an Italian "telefoni bianchi" is pronounced "telefoni, bianKI" not CHI

4:41 And Pasolini took that personally. He knew that the struggle of the working class and the poor people of Italy was far from over, and he lamented the way neoliberalism, capitalism and the american soft power "raped" Italy, its culture and its people.

I don't think Mussolini founded the Venice Film Festival. I cannot find anything to support that claim.

You could at least try to not mispronounce every single Italian word you say. Yikes. Feels like a lack of respect to me.

Hm, so basically the good family values and social cohesion of the fascists gave way to degeneracy and decay. That's what I got out of the video

really interesting but your pronunciation of Italian words took away from you credibility on the subject.
