      Italian neorealism is a style of film characterized by on shooting location typically using unprofessional and equipment unprofessional actors. Films such as these often addressed the social despair and psych of their time. They used regular people and improvised screenplays- making Italian Neorealism the first style to break the confines of film up to that point. The films, though respected by artists and critics, did not sit as well with the majority people in Italy. People were use to watching Hollywood style of film that expanded from the western culture and therefore they were preferred.  That being said Italian neorealism took of in other arts of the world greatly contributing to the French New Wave cinema movement as well as films all around the world. In short one could say it changed the film world forever by breaking the rules and still being successful.
