With accurate details, subtle shifts of emotion, aesthetic and atmospheric perfection, it is a deceptively simple portrayal of the ingenuousness of a young adult, firmly anchored in poetic realism. But more than that, it serves as an acerbic social commentary still resonating after half a century, dissecting the defeat of individuality by an impersonal culture designed to alienate and dehumanize us into apathetic cogs, while calling for "the courage it takes to live through the colorless, gray...

An underrated masterpiece by the most underrated director of Italian neorealism, with naturalistic brushstrokes, it tells how a pure and vivid individual life is gradually assimilated by the system into a dull-eyed, normative social...

The style is simple, the narrative is concise, the plot is simple and the layout is small but quite representative, the environment and people and things are highly bonded, just like a documentary. Also, many of the pictures in the film are well-composed. The new people in the workplace have had a first experience of emotion and earning a living. What can be expected is that the young man will spend his youth like his predecessors, bid farewell to the stupid and naive, and become sophisticated....

A classic of the late Italian Neorealism. A young man, after graduating from middle school, seeks a job, meets the woman he likes, is confused and grows up. The story is very simple, but the details are very vivid. The film is full of poetry of everyday...

It is realistic and realistic, but it expresses the sorrow of an ordinary boy very poetically. In fact, it doesn't matter whether it is the director's debut, a real filmmaker always has his own...

A very rigorous and objective attitude, showing young people who have just entered the society in the process of looking for a job. He met new friends and had a good impression of them, but unexpectedly the girl became close to other men after working in different buildings with him, and he had doubts about love. At work, the seat that belonged to him was seized by an old employee. He was cowardly and obedient and did not dare to say a word. He went to the company's New Year's dance, so...

The middle-aged male employee who was sitting in the last row, whose eyes were illuminated by the lamp on the desk for decades, switched desks with Dominic due to seniority. As a result, every old employee rushed forward to move a row forward. The lifelong pursuit and value realization of each employee are reflected in the form of moving a row forward. Dominic sat in front of the lamp, like a cycle. Maybe he would complain about the damage to his eyes from the light decades later, and then...

From this film, we can still see the influence of Italian neorealism on Italian directors who grew up in this period. The realist tendencies that have permeated Ermino Olmi's entire creative career are most evident in this film and in "The Tree of Clogs." Live action and non-professional actors. Even in such a film depicting a young job seeker, he did not forget to show the life group portraits of other staff members, which were delicate and vivid, making people...

Italian neo-realism works, although the style is to carry the camera on the street, even if it is out of focus, it does not care about the documentary sense. But they will follow a lovely and simple ordinary person, telling his sad and embarrassing but also touching daily life, from the father in the bicycle thief to D. Umberto, to this lovely young man at work, the whole gives people a feeling Like a slightly sentimental Dickens short story from the late 19th century. Ordinary warm poor life....

The editing in the middle section spreads from the perspective of children to the perspective of boring office characters, watching their boring lives, which has no effect on the development of the whole film, but the editing creates a wonderful atmosphere of expansion. In an interview with the director, he said that he does not belong to neorealism, because he schedules non-professional actors to perform in real scenes. The limitation of neorealism lies in the professionalism of the actors,...
