    The dialogue in the courtroom and the tragic ending all reveal a strong "manifesto" from the creator himself, at a time when Desica has yet to grasp the balance between documentary and drama in The Bicycle...

    When the brisk theme sounded again, the disappearance of childhood joy and the fragmentation of innocent friendship, just as the horse, as a symbol of freedom, disappeared without a trace in the dark night. The sharpshooter of the heart is calculated and weighed by the interests of rational people; the two-sidedness of friendship is regarded as a riot factor of mental instability. Innocence has become a crime in this age. Children are dragged into the quagmire of evil by greed-inducing adults,...

    Is everything the fault of trying to cross the class? Neorealism mainly refers to films that focus on the life of the working class. They are contextualized in sociocultural conditions of poverty and often imply a more even distribution of wealth in better societies. There is one type of art that presents a mess of human experience. They neither seek to polish those rough edges and corners, nor do they avoid the confusion and surprises of life like most films. This film is one of...

    From the loss to the out-of-control childhood, misunderstanding breeds hatred. And so is the end of your short and nightmarish boyhood. The most heart-wrenching thing is probably that children will always imitate adults. Those who have been leashed will take off their leash to smack others in the future, spreading violence and hatred, from wicked children to wicked...

    Taking care of the post-war children in reality, the audience is drawn into the joys, sorrows and despair of children with sincerity and sincerity. Prison mirrors the so-called "world of adults", that is, the world of power. Children are alienated and polluted, and the formation of classes and the emergence of hilltopism distorts pure friendship. It begins with a galloping horse, climaxes in the prison breakout riot, brothers fight Xiao Qiang, and ends with a lonely horse, resisting the...

    Whether it's realism or neorealism, it's impossible not to tear up beautiful things and show you. Desica is the warmest director, Bazin said it...

    Desica's rhythm is very well mastered, and she is very good at card points and sublimation. I would like to call her the king of card points. The junction of the first half and the second half and the sequence of the segments are not a bit redundant in time. From the beginning to the end, the white horse is like a stunner that only appears in the fairy tale dream world. In the first half, the children sat on it like a majestic knight, and at the end it watched the corpses of the children and...

    The story of the film takes place during World War II, reflecting the tragic life of the Italian people under the repressive rule of Nacui during World War II. Giupese was born in 1931, he is about 9-10 years old in the film, so the film takes place around 40-41. The movie shows the naval battle between the U.S. military and Japan. The time should be after 1940, and the chef performed the Nacui ceremony, indicating that the time was during Nacui's reign. The juvenile detention center was a...
