American filmmaking is as much a vital industry, an integral mechanism of the economy as any industry. American cinema was built upon capitalism, and in a society promoting greed, Hollywood films have been historically money-driven. In the 1930s, during the Great Depression, escapism was what sold the most tickets. Films like Scarface (1932) and Ki...
Italian Neorealism is regarded as the beginning of the Golden Era of Italian cinema. Inspired by the realist movement, its literary predecessor a generation prior, and coinciding with its literary revival, the prominent voice of which was novelist Italo Calvino (Il sentiero dei nidi di ragno, The Path to the Nest of Spiders,1947), Neorealism was a ...

Benigni was an international star, especially in America (ironically, despite being a communist party supporter). He drew worldwide attention wit...
Benigni wasn’t by any means the first Italian star to break into the international spotlight. Italian culture has been a subject of American filmmaking for decades, but Italian filmmaking has influenced international cinema since its inception, particularly American filmmaking.
