The abrupt stop at the end of the movie is really shocking. Legend has it that the movie is a dream-making process. I am still expecting the wicked to be punished and the protagonist to move towards a happy ending in a bright future, but the ending appears after the hero fails to steal a bicycle and his son wipes his tears. Instead of feeling the beauty of the dream, it was the despair and confusion brought about by the dim reality, which also made me understand that it was neorealism. At the beginning of the movie, the male protagonist finds a new job, but needs a bicycle. Even if he does not have it for the time being, his wife also sells the bed sheets at home to relieve the temporary difficulties. The new job is just putting up posters, but at least it is suitable, stable, and paid for him now, as if everything is going in a good direction. But the reality is not like this. The panic of the bicycle being stolen, the powerlessness of looking for a needle in the haystack of the parts market, the embarrassment and guilt of being found by my son by stealing other people's bicycles, the embarrassment and guilt of being found by his son, the beautiful and bright dam built in his heart is destroyed layer by layer, and bitter water is pouring out And there is nowhere to excrete it, it can only infiltrate into the heart, eroding the future drop by drop. It is also said that the person will eventually become the person he hates the most. The protagonist deeply understands the pain after the bicycle is stolen, and he resents the person who stole his bicycle, but in the end he becomes the person who steals the bicycle after many struggles. I think the audience who have seen this film in its entirety cannot criticize him from the moral high ground, accusing him of his poverty, his vileness, and his incompetence. The audience is worried about a little hope in despair, and as the story develops, they feel that hope is smothered in the slightest. What was the son thinking when he saw his father running away on a stolen bicycle and then being caught and insulted by the crowd? When he picked up his father's hat, which had been trampled on by thousands of people, he might be thinking that his father was my hero; he might understand the reason why his father made such an unethical choice and he sadly didn't want it; perhaps he was blaming himself for doing his best. All that can be done includes memorizing the appearance of the bicycle, putting down the brushed bread in his hand, and inviting the police to the scene. Adorable little Breno had no choice but to cry and wipe away his tears with a silk scarf. In the middle of the film, when he saw that it was not his son Breno who fell into the water, he must have realized that "as long as he is not dead, there is nothing to be afraid of", but he did not explain the ending of the protagonist after accepting many blows. But I can imagine from the blank space left behind that he inevitably lost the courage to live, but he could only live on like a corpse, the feeling of powerlessness strangled his throat, and the sadness was greater than the death of his heart. Who caused the tragedy? Only then. Rome is gone, and I remember the freedom that the hero of "Braveheart" shouted before the execution! The struggle of the oppressed will be like a flood
