He's the thief we hate the most

The son's acting skills are at the level of the film king, and the father is not inferior. The performance of the father and the son is moving throughout the film. After the failure of stealing the bicycle, the father and son walk together. Bursting my tear ducts, my son not only grew up and sensible, but also began to mature - he can understand the embarrassment and sadness of his father.
After growing from a son to a father, perhaps because we have had more or less similar experiences, we always unconsciously feel immersed in such movies with more father and son scenes.
Through a child's view of his father, he can often be judged at which stage of his growth: if you think your father is omnipotent, you are still a child; if you see his father's incompetence, you have grown up; if you understand his father's incompetence, you will become mature.
These days, I've been watching Hirokazu-eda's "The Speed ​​of Walking", and I always think of his "Walking" and "Like Father Like Son". He made me feel that good works can be roughly divided into two types: one is Resonate; another is to provoke thinking. From my point of view, The Bicycle Thief belongs to the former.
