The bicycle thief

The bicycle thief or in italian Ladri di biciclette  is an italian film from 1948 , directed by Vittorio de Sica.This neorealist  film is about a poor man with his son , they are in Rome searching the bicycle of the father because someone stole it, and it’s very tragic because if he dont get his bycicle  he can’t work, and that is the only way they have to survive.

This movie is based on a novel from luigi Bartolini, I’ m not going to tell you the end of the movie, because you have to see it. But I can tell you that this  film reflect in a very good way the poverty and alienation, shows that sometimes the situation leads  the person to do things that  are wrong. It can help you to meditate about the social injustice.Also enhance the strong bond between a father and his son

Finally I would lke to invite you to watch this film, because is a classic that shows  some situations that still happen today . So in my opinion this movie make a strong social criticism and it is important that we  think about it.
