Directed by Italian director Vittorio De Sica, this is a realistic social issue film released in 1948. Its name is well known to Chinese students as early as in middle school history textbooks. Through the process of the protagonist Antonio losing his bicycle and looking for it, the film reflects the economic slump and unemployment of workers in Rome after World War II and other social problems. I was impressed by Antonio's son, the little Italian boy who almost accompanies his hesitant father to complete the narrative. There is also Antonio's wife. It was the woman's resolute decision to fulfill her husband's hard-to-find job of supporting the family. She pawned 6 sheets of sheets at home in exchange for this bicycle that she had to bring for work. The whole film is in a depressing atmosphere of looking for a car, knowing who the thief is, but suffering from no evidence, seeing the thief get away with it. When a bicycle was the only hope for a living, the sudden loss of the bicycle was almost a desperate situation for this man. The motive of the person who lost the car to steal the car seems so reasonable and reasonable, and it truly shows the helplessness of human nature. In the end, Antonio became a "bicycle thief" and his car never came back.
