THE BICYCLE THIEF.

as a film student, here is a classic movie that i like to write about. it is a lesson for all of us to watch the bicycle thief. it is a 1948 italian neorealist film directed by vittoreo de sica. It tells the story of a poor man searching the streets of Rome for his stolen bicycle, which he needs to be able to work. The film is based on the novel of the same name by Luigi Bartolini and was adapted for the screen by Cesare Zavattini. It stars Lamberto Maggiorani as the father and Enzo Staiola as the son.

The film tells the story of Antonio Ricci, an unemployed worker who gets a job posting flyers in the depressed post-World War II economy of Italy. To keep the job, he must have a bicycle, so his wife Maria sells her wedding sheets to get the money to get his bicycle from the pawnbroker.

Early in the film, the bike is stolen, and Antonio and his son Bruno spend the remainder of the film searching for it. Antonio manages to locate the thief (who had already sold the bicycle) and summons the police, but with no proof and with the thief’s neighbors willing to give him a false alibi, he abandons this cause.

At the end of the film Antonio, desperate to keep his job, attempts to steal a bicycle himself. He is caught and humiliated in front of Bruno, but the owner of the bicycle declines to press charges, realizing that the humiliation is punishment enough. Antonio and his family face a bleak future as the film ends, coupled with Antonio's realization that he is not morally superior to the thief. i really like the film because it is a hustlin movie. maybe it is not 8mile or hustle and flow but still antonio had been hustlin. the mesage is simple. no one cares? yeah true. steal and stole. who is real for the role. i hope you ladies or gentlemans can study your identity by watching the bicyle thief. assalamualaikum.
