I know he's totally disappointed in this life

Watched The Bicycle Thief last night.

Although poor and poor, but at least still alive. For this reason, when Richie suddenly decided to take his son to a restaurant and eat happily, I felt that the pain of life in this world is so boundless.

I admit, I even wish Richie managed to steal that bike in the end. Even if he was sent to prison, he was forgiven and let go, so he "freely", silently, followed the vast crowd and walked into the vast crowd under the setting sun. I saw the tears that finally came out of this man's eyes. I know he is completely disappointed in this life.

    Looks very aggrieved, the protagonist is really a typical honest and useless person

    【Exhibition at China Film Archive】A masterpiece of neorealism. The story of a lost bicycle can be shot so great. The actor's performance is vivid and natural, and the deep sense of powerlessness is powerfully expressed. The audience can deeply appreciate the pain and helplessness of going from hope to despair step by step, and feel heartbroken and regretful for it. Compared with the suffocation of losing the bicycle, the disintegration of dignity and the shock of the collapse of the father's image are more intense, very sad and sad.
