Looking at the title of the film, the person who steals the bicycle, if it is filmed in China, will it be made into a chase film, huh, God knows.
The film is full of human concern. At the beginning, it is a scene of a large group of people waiting for work. The center of the film is the life of the protagonist, the tattered suit, the shabby apartment, and even before he found a job, he pawned his bicycle because of the family's living expenses.

The food that the rich people disdain, but he is elated, and the father pushes the food away and starts to calculate the income after work, which deeply touched people's heart, how much he needs this job and how much his home is Need, for tomorrow's bread.

    I rarely cry when I watch movies with a relatively long history. After all, so many years have passed, and the concepts, techniques, and audiences have undergone tremendous changes. But this movie, with the most simple and realistic techniques and the most simple non-professional actors, made me cry. A withered society, a life of suffering, a fragile dignity, a strong father-son family relationship, it makes me sad when I think about it.
