Lost bike and father of two Antonio facing losing his day's job, what does this bike mean to him? More than just losing the 6 linen sheets you sold to buy it! There are also generous wages and benefits for his family, as well as the expectations of his son bruno, the tears of his wife and his daughter who is waiting... It is very interesting, many masters of realism are in Italy, and romanticism in France. There is absolutely no romanticism in China, but there are also very few outstanding masters of realism, and even no real "masters". Fei Mu maybe?
The film always revolves around bicycles, buying a car, losing a car, looking for a car - in the vast city of Rome, father and son are looking for the bicycle that is related to their survival. , but was ridiculed and driven away by the surrounding neighbors~~ The cruelty and bitterness of life gradually peeled off a hideous face. In the end, the desperate Antonio decided to take a risk and arranged for his son. He stole a bicycle, but was quickly caught. Losing the bicycle and stealing the bicycle, he had a strong sense of fate. Eventually, the crying son sparked sympathy from the car owner, who let Antonio go, the father dusted off the dust, put on his hat, and went home with his son. As the sun went down, the father and son slowly walked away.
I like this ending very much. "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle" is not bad, but the "axle" of the protagonist has no support, and the ending is too taken for granted. It's not that I'm too picky and intolerant of Chinese directors, but that we need more experimentation and experience, and more "comfort" that has been soaked in for decades.
The most notable thing about this 1948 film is that it lacks a single professional actor. There is no trace of this delicate and delicate performance of the father and son, especially the part where the father takes his son to eat fruit bread while having fun, which is very high-quality, I like it :))
