I didn't really get to watch Brick due to being absent when we watched the film, but Do The Right Thing does have a few of the elements of an independent cinema. The beginning wasn't clear and the ending was ambiguous. A few of the characters, mainly the main character were complex/ambiguous, as well as the narrative being a drama in an undramatic present. It did show a vision of society of the minorities and some of the issues that they were going through at the time, which was the opposite of an independent cinema characteristic.
Italian neo-realism staked out new cinematic territory, it helped show where they came from and what happened while they lived there.
I believe that Italian Neo-realism inspired Independent Cinema by creating a film that was out of the ordinary, that they would show reality and what happens in the lives around them that they may not have seen, they wouldn't edit it because they wanted the audience to get a perspective of reality and not how Hollywood portrays films.
