I can understand his feelings, I understand why he has so many deadly and wounded shootout movies that I dare not watch, but he dared not watch such a tragedy of such a small person: maybe because those shootout scenes are too far away from us. It seems not real enough, perhaps because we don't have such a big tragic event in our lives, so when we watch those bloody scenes, we just don't dare to watch it instead of bear it. I dare not be afraid, but I can’t bear it because my heart hurts when I look at it.
I still remember when I looked at my little shoes, the whole process, I felt like this-my heart hurts so much that I don't want to pay attention to some of the most subtle points, because I am afraid that I will see the pain caused by that subtle point. I don’t remember where I saw an article. The author described Little Ali’s eyes: “When you laugh, it is enough to make the flowers bloom quickly, and when you cry, it is enough to make the sun immediately desolate.” While watching "The Bicycle Thief" , I saw that pair of eyes again.
"Little Shoes" also has a translation called "Children in Paradise", which was filmed in 1998; "The Biker" is fifty years earlier. However, I was watching "Little Shoes" first, so I said that Bruno, the little boy in "The Bicycle Thief", is "another child in paradise".
I have been thinking about what a child in heaven is like.
We bless someone who has left us, hoping that he will go to heaven, because he has endured too much suffering and sorrow in the world, so all those who can't bear him hope that he can go to the place full of happiness in the legend.
Only those who are blessed, and only those who have always been kind in the world, can reach heaven.
Ali is such a child, as is Bruno.
Their lives are full of poverty, and there are too many troubles in their lives. Although three meals a day do not need them to worry about, although they could have nothing to do with understanding, but they are children in paradise, they prematurely want to share the burden of their parents with their immature shoulders .
After Ali lost his sister’s child, he stubbornly thought that it was impossible to buy another pair of new shoes for his sister. He did not tell his parents about this because he knew that his parents had too many things to worry about. Just secretly, silently, always trying to retrieve his sister’s shoes. When he saw a girl who needed those shoes more than himself, he was determined to win the third place in the sports meeting, because the third place prize was a pair. sports shoes. When he won the championship, his eyes were filled with tears. He didn't want to win the championship. He only needed third place and only a pair of sneakers!
Bruno was very excited when he saw that his father had a bicycle again. Before his father went to work, he carefully wiped and wiped the bicycle. When he heard that his father had stolen his bicycle, he did not cry or make trouble, but there was an uncontrollable sadness in his eyes. In the whole film, if there is no such little boy, but only tells about the little boy’s father owning the bicycle again—the bicycle was stolen—looking for the bicycle—the bicycle was stolen in desperation and was beaten, then our understanding of the movie would be much simpler We can say that this is just a foreign version of the story of Xiangzi Luotuo. The diligent and honest people who were persecuted by the dark society are going to degenerate in the next step. We will accuse the darkness of society, we will sympathize with the misfortune of the fallen, but all this is not as bad as the sadness of the little boy that makes us so uncomfortable.
In the process of looking for a bicycle with his father, Bruno is like his father's tail. He will go wherever his father goes. In the bicycle wholesale market, facing so many bicycle parts, he is as serious as all adults, and he is even more serious. He looks for bicycle bells according to the division of labor. He stood in front of a bell stall for a long time, and he was so serious and fascinated. Look at the bells one by one. I was thinking, does he really remember what the bell of his bicycle looks like? When I saw his serious look, I realized that my doubts were superfluous. For Bruno, he may not remember exactly what each part of the bicycle looked like, but when they really were When he was in front of him, he would definitely recognize it, because he could feel the smell of his bicycle.
Bruno followed his father and searched everywhere. They went to all the places where bicycles passed by. It was raining in the sky, Bruno and his father were drenched. The rain continued to fall. Bruno didn't find a place to shelter from the rain. He stayed with his father, paying attention to every bicycle his father noticed.
Bruno and his father chased the old man who knew the whereabouts of the bicycle to the church, where many people were celebrating Mass. The old man mingled among the masses. Bruno’s father walked to the old man’s side, threatening to entice him to use up all means. During the period, he was warned several times to stop talking, but for him, he had to find a bicycle. It is what he cares most about. In the end, the old man finally agreed to take him to find the man who stole his bike, but he ran away at the moment he was negligent. He was looking for shouts everywhere in the church. If he was a little restrained at first, then the old man's escape has made him irritable and scurrying around in the church. But when he followed his father around looking for the old man, Bruno’s performance was different from his father. Seeing his father and the old man’s theory, he just quietly watched the changes in the situation and decided what to do based on the expression on his father’s face. At last, when his father chased him out of the church, Bruno also followed, and when he walked to the center of the church, he did not forget to draw a cross on his chest like a person who was learning to do Mass in a hurry.
Because of his rush, he didn't even have time to paint the cross completely. The father interrupted the masses and felt a little at ease, or at least not a little guilty, because he had to avoid them for more important things that needed to be resolved, and this matter was related to the livelihood of his family. But Bruno did such an action when he left. He may not understand what that action means, but here, this action represents the apologetic young heart of Little Bruno.
His father missed Bruno because he was anxious. Bruno didn't understand why his father wanted to beat him. He felt aggrieved and wanted to run away and avoid his father, but in the end he still followed his father to find him.
In order to apologize to his son, the father took his son out of the restaurant. Father generously ordered two bottles of wine! Two cheese breads! This was something that was not possible before, not to mention the moment when the bicycle was just stolen and the rare job was about to be lost! The little boy's innocent surprise bloomed on the screen.
What's even more distressing is that Bruno, who is in his junior year, has shown a calmness that no adult has in many cases. When he saw his father arguing with the car thief and his neighbors, he called the police in due course; when his father was beaten by the car, he rushed to rescue him. In the end, my father was let go by the owner, and the bicycle was still not found. What awaits them is the fact that my father is about to have a career, and his life is as difficult as usual...
Bruno still follows his father. When his father wants to sit down, he sits down; his father wants to continue looking for a bicycle, and he follows; his father wants to go home, and he also goes home...
Only when he is sitting , he is walking. At that time, Bruno always looked up at his father from time to time...
He could feel his father's loss, his father's helplessness...
because he was a child in heaven!
