About Italian Neorealist & Hurt Locker

Italian Neorealist Cinema

To my understanding, the Italy directors those days like Roberto Rossellini , Vittorio De Sica and Luchino Visconti who dared to bring Italy movie making known to the rest of the world even when their country was at war with Germany and where poverty was all around Italy. But now days  Italy’s film industry is reacting rather nonchalantly to the surprising absence of Italian movies in the canne competition for the first time in a decade and taking consolation in the expected presence of a robust contingent of young Italian directors set to screen across the fest’s other sections. “One year you have three films in competition, the other you don’t have any. It’s normal,” says producer Riccardo Tozzi head of Italian motion picture association Anica. If Italy movie industries one to play with the big boys firstly, they should take life stories of ordinary people with extraordinary  accomplishments as this movies will inspire large members of the country people to watch their country movie and able to know that even Italian directors are capable of giving good movies. Lastly, like the Italian paintings, which are some of the best examples of European art since the Middle Ages were particularly influential during the Renaissance periods can be seen in Italy movies in the near future with the upcoming directors.

In the past we would seen a lot of American war movies but. The Hurt Locker is the most authentic portrayal of post Iraq War. For those who have not yet seen, the story centers the special unit in Army whose profession is to defuse roadside bombs in Iraq. There had been way too many movies based on the Iraq premise, what makes this movie so remarkable is how well the narrative had been put to use. We get to see the war torn country in an absolute different perspective, adding legitimate elements to make this a stunning success. Every effort had been taken to capture the details of the risk involved for disarming live bombs adding it, the thrill factor. The director Kathryn Bigelow has successfully given us the true situation out there which we had always been yearning to see. The director had chosen actors such as Jeremy Renner, David Morse and etc to make this movie as a whole, if anyone is interested to understand the present state of Iraq The Hurt Locker should just be right to feel the heat. It does not carry any biased political message but a true depiction of life under constant threat. And most importantly, to my understanding about this movie is that it is not about the war or machine but men and women who is like you and me trying make our earth a better place to live in peace and harmony.
