Italian Neorealism

Italian Neorealism focused on the issues of the common man, rather than the revolution at hand. The films were often made with unexperienced actors with little to no budget. Neorealism gave a different perspective of the common man after the events of World War II.

French New Wave

                                                . French New Wave is a very impactful movement in the category of cinema. French New Wave rejected the standard linear style of storytelling and created a new kind of language on it's own. It came around during Hollywood's Golden age going against what it stood for. French New wave is still changing the way we think of cinema today.

Inciting Incident Mission Impossible: Fallout

An Inciting Incident that caught my eye was the one that was impressively set up in Mission: Impossible Fallout. This film was full of nail biting action-packed moments, but the first one gave us a glimpse of the awesomeness and jaw dropping moments to come later in this masterpiece of a film. Tom Cruise is tasked with a difficult decision to save his friend or save three nukes. And of course, Tom chose his friend.

Intermittent Delight by Akosua Adoma

This experimental film has a very interesting motif of patterns. It is influenced heavily by African culture with the drums keeping the tempo of the film in the background. It shows an interesting contrast of African Culture from Caucasian Culture. From two African women weaving clothes using textile sewing machines to the white American indulging in her clothing hobby. It augments a lot of patterns and utilizes the space of the screen by filling in empty space to taking away images within transition. Overall I was very impressed with the creativity of the film and the sounds it incorporates.
