Taking the death of the father as the threshold, before death is typical neo-realism, the content is ordinary people struggling for basic living conditions; after death, it tends to inner realism, showing that the child is homeless from a certain distance, which is material, It is also a spiritual home. Here Rossellini broke through the limitation that the Italian New Reality only described the lives of Italians. However, this practice shows that the aesthetic ideas of Neorealism are also applicable to Germany, because Germany, like Italy, was controlled by fascism before the war and the people were struggling. Later, it was filled with broken tiles and ruins and the hearts of the people who were also abandoned.

    I have only seen two Italian neorealist films, one is about a bike thief and the other is this one. I hate films that destroy children. Edmund did not give up hope of life with the fiasco in Berlin, but Killed his father because of unsustainable livelihoods in reconstruction. When he walks into the ruins at the end of the film and shoots himself in the head with a pistol-like part, he is already determined to say goodbye to the world. Hey, half-baked boy

  • Eva: Did you get the Number 2 Card?

    Edmund: No, they kicked me out because I'm not fifteen yet.

    Il padre: I knew that would happen. Still, I'm glad you're not going anywhere. That's too much work for a boy your age.

    Edmund: But it would have meant more to eat. For Karl-Heinz, too.

    Il padre: Did you hear that, Karl-Heinz? You know that poor Edmund, at his age, can't support all of us. He's still a child. But you, what do you do? You keep hiding. You didn't even register for a food card.
