  • The story tells the story of Cyril, an 11-year-old boy who wants to find his father Guy, who temporarily placed him in a children's orphanage, and get back a bicycle that is of great significance to him. When Cyril escaped desperately from the children's orphanage, he met Samantha the barber (played by Sisi Di France). Out of a straightforward, enthusiastic and helpful kindness (but the film did not reveal its true motivation), Samantha helped Cyril find the bicycle. And Cyril also hoped that Samantha could take him in every weekend, so Samantha contacted the boy’s father Guy, who was played by "Jérémie Renier. In the end Samantha was never responsible." What Guy got was a cold rejection. For Samantha, it was definitely not easy to take up the responsibility of Cyril's foster mother, especially when Cyril met the young man Wes, a gangster who had many negative effects on Cyril. Even though it happened. A very bad thing, but for Cyril, the original goal was finally achieved.

      Tears come when the music

      I didn't know much about the Darnay brothers before. For me, it wasn't the title produced by Darnay that attracted me to this slow story, nor the increasingly box-office appeal of Ceci Di France. , but the excellent acting skills of the little boy and the following:

          After reading it, I checked the film review materials and so on, and then I realized that for Dane, the use of the soundtrack this time was a big breakthrough...

             There are 4 soundtracks in the film,...

      If you are good to me, even if you sin, I will do it for you

      The delinquent boy asked the boy how many euros he would share if he succeeded in stealing the money. The boy said he didn't want the money, just to help him. How could the boy be so smart that he didn't know that this was a wrong thing, but the boy would rather hurt the barber shop owner who was kind to him, and he would try his best to run away from home that night to help the delinquent boy get money, just because the delinquent boy had been wrong to him before. He's...

      On "Le Gamin au Vélo"

      It is still the small scene of the Darnet brothers’ stylized sports scene. The angry teenager reminds me of the girl in their Palme d’Or film Rosetta, and the father played by Jeremy Renai compares this film with Their other Palme d’Or film "Children" is linked: the irresponsible father who once sold his son will be like this movie a few years later, trying to abandon his son, and The son's persistent attachment to his father and extreme insecurity can be traced back to the betrayal or...

      A cyclist swipe. Kindness is big enough to change a person.

      Watching the Darney Brothers films always feels that time flies quickly, the film makes people feel completely caught in it, and the plot does not feel procrastinated. Because the protagonist is in a huge predicament, he knows or even doesn't know this fall, but there are always two forces pulling the protagonist, one force awakens the positive side of the protagonist at all costs, and the other continues to help him fall The abyss, but in the end the protagonist will wake up from a state of...

      Why a cyclist.

      The first thing I wanted to see this movie was the name that attracted me. As an ALICE friend, when I watched a movie, I wondered why I was a cyclist.

      Some people think of the child's desire for father's love after watching the movie. When he went to his father's apartment to find someone in the movie, the child's focus was on the bicycle. It's human instinct to father. His father was unable to take care of him. Run away from him, dare not face him. So this film has nothing to do with...

      Like this just right sensational, will not shed tears but will leave memories. In fact, the story is very simple and the reasoning is very clear. The only shortcoming is that the film itself seems a little...
