As a representative of Italian neorealism, Desica is actually just pointing at the depression of Italian society and the plight of the little people at that time. When the protagonist went to be a bed sheet, the shelves up to several floors could make people see that it was so common to pawn his own things in Italy at that time, and even bed sheets were extremely "easy".
Perhaps the only difference between the two stories is , is the fatherless state at the age of 17. The lack of the role of father may reflect the special state of the fifth generation of directors in China. The person who steals the bicycle, in the strong and indifferent social environment, still implies the family, the absolutely warm emotional element of father and son, and even the protagonist was released because of his son. This interdependent relationship is the only solace in the film. At the same time, it indicates that maybe the life of this generation needs to be changed by the next generation. Finally disappearing from the crowd, indicating the indifference of the society but not despair because of it, it seems that we have put our hope on the "son".
