Brick's Elements:
Brick's characters are more complex, mainly the antagonists. The main character has some unknown motives. Brick also relied a lot on the dialogue to get the story moving forward. Even during any action or tense sequences, there was a good amount of dialogue put in. It also uses multi-strand narratives. The whole of the movie was about visions of underground society and what happens in the background.
Do the Right Thing's Elements:
DRT has an ambiguous ending. The characters are stereotypical and straightforward for the most part. It is usually in favor of narrative drama. DRT has an even balance of dialogue and tense action. It makes it aware that the audience is watching a film by all the unorthodox camera angles.
Italian Neorealism:
1. Political involvement
2. Not always a happy ending
3. Emphasis on realism and factual events
I think that Italian Neorealism has had a great influence on American Independent films, since Italian Neorealism is mostly known for its ambiguous and sad endings, much like indie films.
