The father who stole the bike

When I was a child, I was timid and dared not try many things. For example, when riding a bicycle, when a 5 or 6-year-old child curls up in a bicycle tripod all the way forward, the ten-year-old I still don’t have the courage to try. When I was in fifth grade, I still didn't know how to ride a bicycle. One day my dad picked me up from school. It was getting late. At a corner, I didn't pay attention. I fell into a ditch on the roadside with him and a bicycle. I heard my dad murmur, as if complaining that I can't ride a bike by myself. I was so impressed with this incident, largely because I respect my father very much. I can not bird anyone in this world, but my dad will always be my idol.

Only that night, I discovered that my father also had shortcomings: how could a perfect father complain about an innocent son in an accident. Another time, my dad drove me to school on a bicycle. The weather was bad that day, it was raining, and I don’t remember why, my dad had to borrow a bike to ride a bicycle. In the middle of the journey, the front wheel of the high-speed bicycle suddenly flew out, and my dad and I fell to the ground. Seeing that I was not injured, my dad waved his hand and let me walk to school by myself. That time, I also slandered my dad's belly.

I gradually understand why in an awkward situation, my dad did not act as perfect as I imagined. A father, in front of his children, especially his son, always tries to embody majesty and strength. When real life breaks this myth, any father will be at a loss for a moment.

Desica's "The Bike Stealer" is one of the greatest movies in history. My first reaction after watching it was that I remembered my childhood. Enough has been said about the awesomeness of this awesome movie from master to literary youth. Except for the realistic style that is inevitably mentioned every time, the bleak reality of Italy after the war, the performance of non-professional actors-the male protagonist was really unemployed at the time, and André Bazin, I am still interested in all kinds of things. Gossip. What made me most curious was how Desika transformed from a light comedy idol actor to a great director. How can a handsome guy who claims not to be humble and claim that "the bride will leave behind the groom to chase me on the wedding night", how could he film "Shoe Shine Boy" and then "Bike Thief". My surprise is like that of Martin Sicoses. This is normal. Can you imagine Andy Lau filming a "Devil Is Coming" as a director?

In addition, the father and son in the film occupied all my sights and thoughts. Bruno is not like a child. When his dad got a job and was overwhelmed, he helped his dad wipe the bicycle and was brooding about the damage on the car. Before leaving the house, he carefully helped his sister close the windows; he always said, if it were me If you do, you have to talk to someone about the theory and how to deal with this matter. Lacan said that a child who does not yet have sufficient mobility will find his perfect image in the mirror, but this is a misunderstanding. Roughly speaking, this is a small part of his mirror image theory. Once you experience the squeeze of life, the child's image in the mirror will soon be shattered. Bruno acted like an adult, precisely because society had not yet regarded him as an adult, and his family had not allowed him to fully assume the duties and responsibilities of an adult. When Lao Tzu, who was searching for a bicycle and never got it, slapped his son, this was the most intense conflict between the real world and Bruno's "adult image". Bruno immediately became a child in this conflict, when he was one of the few times he looked like a child. The conflict was resolved when the father was desperate to take his son to a big meal. The father worked hard to maintain the dignity and stalwart in his son's eyes. Bruno also gradually understood the weakness of his father's tall image and the hardships of maintaining it.

The bike thief is actually a father, just like the disabled father in Yuma, but the former is not as lucky as the latter. Because even Orson Wells can't see the camera in "The Bike Stealer", it is life itself, but the latter is just a beautiful story. Bruno probably understood this, so he held his father's hand tightly, just like I have forgiven my dad and still love him.
