At the beginning of the movie, with the boy's phone call, it is explained that this is a shelter and that this is a child abandoned by his father. The male protagonist has been struggling to find his own pursuit, in order to change the fate of being abandoned, or to obtain family love from him. And his father's response to cut off contact also drove the boy into the abyss. The only thing he refused to let go was the bicycle his father gave him, which he regarded as a treasure.
The male protagonist once had a chance to get on the right track, and that was to play football with the neighbor children. But after the beloved bicycle was robbed, it was led to another wrong path. When the boy saw that the bad boss was taking care of a sick grandmother, the boy felt pity for him from the bottom of his heart, so when he regarded the male protagonist as a brother, the male protagonist would be so obliged to help him steal money. But in the end, all he got was his father's indifference and resistance, and his brother's betrayal.
The female protagonist who finally returned, also handed over his bicycle to the female protagonist when he was riding with the female protagonist. This exchange of cycling was actually an action that the male protagonist truly trusted in the female protagonist, which made the male protagonist willing to take the bike. Give your beloved bicycle to the hostess.
The ending is more of an open ending. In the end, the male protagonist rides a bicycle to death. It is very interesting that in the last scene, the male protagonist was chasing others to fight, and in the same scene, the next time he was chased by others and climbed a tree. In fact, what the director wanted to be ironic at the end was, don't think that you'll be fine if you get better, there are more beasts who can change the law to bully you, and the law protects their interests, not you.
In fact, the director satirized many social problems,
First, the bad guy has a grandmother who is sick in bed to take care of, and there is no other source of income at home, which proves that the society does not pay attention to the lives of the people at the bottom. It reflects that society is creating crime.
Second, under the legal mediation, this scene is very indifferent, reflecting that the mutual apology of the law is just a formality. For those who refuse to accept the apology, there is no further follow-up, and crimes are allowed to breed. It also reflects the inadequacy of the law and the lack of humanistic care.
Third, after giving birth to a child, a father can just send it to an orphanage if he is unable to raise it. This irresponsible attitude should have mandatory provisions in the law not to abandon the child at will. The law is lacking.
