Sciuscià

In the turbulent situation in Italy after the end of World War II, some children were shining shoes on the streets in order to earn a living. The Gussés and Paskrit were among them. They were deceived by habitual criminals Barthes and passively involved in a fraud pretending to be a policeman. The case was imprisoned in a juvenile correctional home. In order to find their behind-the-scenes envoy, the prison used a divorce scheme to let the children confess because of fear. The children also had...

Who robbed kindness

~ The first time I watched De Sika's movie ~ "Shoe Shine Boy", a black and white movie more than 70 years ago. Looking at it now, it is still very exciting and very touching. The full text of the following spoiler: Two friends, one family is very poor, one parent has died, and they came out to be shoe polishers at a young age. Even if they can only sleep at the elevator entrance, they don't feel bitter. They save money for a common dream, dreaming of buying the white horse that occasionally...

Start with a dream and end in despair

Regarding some details in the film:
        Scene 1: When the deputy director of the children's detention center complained to the director of the poor living conditions of the children, the director told him, "Don't think too much of these'meaningless' things, we It’s a detention center, not a nursery school. Otherwise, you can always only be a deputy.”

Juvenile prison

    When they first started elementary school, when asked about their wish to grow up, many children would say to be a teacher. How pure is the "gardener of the soul" in the children's mind, and the campus is so pure and beautiful. When we grow up day by day, we discover that the world is not as beautiful as we thought, and the campus is like a small society, not pure...One day, the teacher asked us to investigate an “event” We were separated by the use of a "discrimination plan" for...

Peep the war through the eyes of a child

After watching "Shoe Shine Boy", the pain in my heart became more intense. Since the end of World War II, film culture has also grown up in many countries, but this growth environment is painful, and this film and television theme is also cruel, because the series of disasters caused by World War II have been presented to the world with naked vision by directors. . After more than half a century, I am now like a cautious snoop into this era that does not belong to me. And the shock brought out...

The nature is inherently evil, and it has nothing to do with the order of the old and the young, let alone a poor street or a bright mirror. Compared with the distorted and ugly state of the broken society, the betrayal contest of childlike friendship is more shocking. The great De Sica, makes all the eight o'clock bitterness scenes real and reasonable in the viewing...

The friendship in the growth period is like white porcelain just out of the kiln, crystal clear yet vulnerable. The past happiness and friendship, the past trust and admiration, because of calculations and misunderstandings, because of incitement and revenge, because of the childishness that has not yet taken off as a child, Bai Ci was hit and shattered to the ground. Never going back to the past, the two rode on horses and enjoyed endless days. Friendship is only one of the things broken under...

3.5. Desica has a strong sense of neo-realistic choreography. The camera likes to tweet close-ups during transitions, and the reaction camera is too forward, resulting in a single scene that is too fast-paced. This may be because the director is eager to execute the effect he wants. It's too clear, but it seems deliberate. In contrast, I prefer Rossellini. Fortunately, this story focuses more on the human aspect, and the transformation of character relationships is very complicated, which is...

Perhaps what the director wanted to say was exactly that sentence: If these children are guilty, then all of us are guilty. Friendship is so fragile in the face of a changing environment. This makes me love the tuberculosis kid even more. Neither disease nor the environment robs him of his simple kindness and yearning for the sea. || This group of children was filmed too stylish, and the director, you feel your conscience and say that you are really not filming the base film, and it is enough...
