The focus and focus of the entire film is in the last shot, starting from the shot where the hero waved his hand to let his son go away, each shot brought us a powerful spiritual impact, and every change in the protagonist's expression revealed that He was struggling and fragile inside. While we pay close attention to the fate of the protagonist, we also need to reflect on and examine our own life. In different eras and different countries, in fact, there are always the same answers about the fate of human beings and each individual human being. Regarding the other protagonist in the film, the bicycle, I gave two interpretations. First of all, in that hard and chaotic age, it represented the hope of life and was the material basis for survival. In addition, aside from the environment in which it is located, it actually represents the most important thing in the life of each individual human being. For the protagonist of this film, this thing is a bicycle. For other individuals, it will be replaced by something else, but every time There is such a thing in our hearts that cannot be given up and used to support our lives. But just like the protagonist of this film, what we have been looking for and looking forward to will always slip away inadvertently, leaving only despair and bitterness. Therefore, this film not only interprets the miserable life of individual human beings in a harsh living environment, but also implies the fate that the entire human race cannot escape.
