just watched the movie "The Bicycle Thief". It's an old movie with scratches on the film, turning the screen into an old curtain. The voice is hoarse, and there are traces of being worn down by time. It is such a movie, without montage effects, only long shots, only the simplicity of the old days, just like the father and son in the movie.
Unemployed poor families, when the job comes, is it a relief? No, for this job, we have to have a bike, but no, we don't have enough money. Are you desperate? No, we sold all the bedding in the house - the woman's dowry, and then, we had a bicycle, and the road to survival suddenly opened up. We were looking forward to the uphill road, but...
the bike that was used to support the family was stolen and the road was completely cut off? Fortunately, we have memorized the frame number and can go to find it. In the streets and alleys of Rome, we can call friends and check all the used car markets carefully. ... not found, in the rain, again in vain.
Hope has not disappeared, and the car thief has been found, but there is no evidence, let alone the car. The shattering of old hopes is followed by the igniting of new ones, and then the shattering. The children are pushed away by the crowd again and again, but they are not easily lost. The children walk alone by the river or in the noisy market. Audiences who are familiar with various movies always think that the next scene is the child falling into the water or being kidnapped. . However, the movie is like the real world. The tragic conflicts that fill most dramas are not here. The child returns to his father safely, just like every day.
The shattering of a small hope is definitely not as mild as a disaster, and the shattering of small hopes can make people suffocate. This suffocation can kill the desire for hope, and the person who loses the bicycle also becomes a bicycle thief. people.
Getting caught was not a tragic end, the owner saw the innocent child and forgave the bike thief.
The father and son shed tears and disappeared into the hustle and bustle. The story returns to the beginning, but there are four more lines of tears.
I had thought that in the end, the bike would miraculously come back. However...impossible, just like my lost bicycle will not come back to me even if I see it being ridden by my classmates N times.
This is a neo-realist film, a re-enactment of life, without intense conflict and brilliant shots, without miracles, without disasters. This is how life is, and only this life adds a tragic color. Life, without disasters, can give people a bone-chilling cold.
