The fun is theirs, I have nothing

I opened this movie during dinner in the evening. The movie tells the story of a father who found a job because it was not easy, but needed a bicycle. So, in order to have a bicycle, the wife took the dowry and the sheets and quilts. However, the good times didn't last long, and the bicycle was stolen while the man was working. Most of the movie is about the father and his kids looking for a bike. It seems a little slow now, but it should be good for that era. In the end, my father was cornered. He tried to steal other people's bicycles but was caught. There was a barrage that said, "Career and dignity are gone." Yes, it is a sad thing that a great father becomes a car thief in the eyes of a child.
Now let's talk about the three things that left the deepest impression on this movie:
1. This kid did a great job. During this process, the child stared at his father while walking. The child in the film is always like this, which expresses the young child's trust and dependence on his father. No matter where he goes, no matter what the situation is, his father always Yes, it can be seen from the sincere eyes of the child. There are also children who kept trotting with their father along the way. When they encountered a glimmer of hope, they ran away desperately. In the rain, they fell while running and got up and ran under the eaves. , These all play a child very real, which can not only show the child's nature, but also show the sensibleness of a poor family and poor children who are in charge of the family early. Give full marks to the child's acting skills.
2. Fatherly love. The father slapped the child because he was angry, and the child was very angry and cried. This little detail often happens in our daily life. The father didn't do it on purpose, he just missed it in a moment of anger, and the child is innocent. Later, the father asked the child to wait for him there. He went to the river and suddenly heard the sound of shouting. His first reaction was his own child. Later, I saw that the drowning person was not my own child, so I was relieved, took the child to eat delicious food, and said that people will die sooner or later (probably this means). At that moment, the father has realized the importance of children, the importance of family affection, and the importance of love. As long as the family is safe, that's fine. The children are also very happy. After all, they are young and don't hold grudges. They are really happy.
3. The theme of the movie. The film focuses on expressing the poor life of Italians in that era. As a microcosm of each family in the era, it reflects the helplessness of civilian life. In the face of economic depression, there is no job, no food, but there is nothing to do. In order to live a little better, to pray, to ask the goddess to guide the way, but these do not change the status quo. It's an irony that the goddess said she could find a job, but it didn't take long for her bike to be lost. A very simple family, a father who loves life and loves his family, is forced to steal bicycles is also an irony. After watching it, I felt infinite regret, regret and heartache. I can't help but come back to the question, how can people survive when society doesn't even give them a way to live? Is it to sell dignity for food, or starve to death for dignity. When this father was the loneliest when he was looking for a bicycle, on the bustling road with people coming and going, all kinds of people were bustling, but no one paid attention to this helpless person, and suddenly thought of a sentence, " The fun is theirs, I have nothing." Everyone was alone in those days, and it is now.
