Do The Right Thing has many traits of Italian Neorealism. The film doesn't have a clear sequence of events, the characters are very complex, and the film relies heavily on dialogue, more than most hollywood films.
The movement began when Italian filmmakers were tired of seeing a fake paradise on film which was influenced by American culture.
Italian filmmakers wanted to show the reality of life in Italy after the wars and after the reign of Mussolini.
Italian Neorealist films often include non professional casts, real sets, and almost unedited footage.
Italian Neorealism inspired American Independent films in many ways, first Independent films focus on the realities of life, something that Italian Neorealists were huge on. Independents also keep the ending true, meaning they don't always have a happy ending.
