Everyone’s bicycle,

In every man's heart, there lives a young man. Said so. At the beginning of the film, Cyril took the elevator to find his father who had abandoned him. The close-up of the camera, the boy's stubborn look, the look that was almost angry, and the cold, made his heart hurt.
In many scenes, I heard this so-called rebellious teenager say loudly: NO!

The boarding school counselor told him not to make the call that he could not get through. He said no. The
guard told him over and over again that his father moved out a month ago. In this corner, he still believes and desires to know everything about his father, he doesn't want it, don't believe that his father is really gone, don't.
Samantha told him that the bicycle was bought from someone else, and he stubbornly believed that it was stolen by someone else and not sold by his father. He didn't want to. When he saw the sale advertisement posted by his father selling a green BMW and a children's bicycle, he still didn't believe it until his father told me that I had no choice. He still doesn't want it.
Samantha, who adopted him, wants him not to come into contact with the gangsters on that street, he doesn't want it.


A stubborn teenager is stubborn and stubborn in front of anyone, only in front of his father. The man who has no courage to take responsibility and life pressure is better than the father of a child. He has never been docile and never protested loudly. : NO! Even if my father said to him, don't come to me again, I don't want to see you, don't.

Subjectively speaking, I don't want to criticize how cruel this father is. We can't control what life each person has to choose.
What is gratifying is that the boy has not become gloomy. In the film, the boy's warm red coat, riding a bicycle, is like a pulsating flame. I am inclined to the warmth he brings in the face of the harshness of human nature and the depression of life.


At the end of the film, the director's calm and sensational, silent ending continues the Dannet brothers' style as always.


Although it is only a movie, I still hope that the teenagers and their fathers can find their own "bicycle".
