This is what the power of CINEMA can do. To make us feel the pain, agony, fear, humiliation, .... of the havenots . All the CGI can't move our hearts like the eyes of the kid and his tears on seeing his father beaten up. Has to top one among the highest in terms of all time performances.

Yes it's a great movie and this... is a great scene, but your comment is juste purely demagogic

Really good film. Somehow the film really makes you think that world is against him. In some scenes where he chases after the thief, he screams and nobody helps. But when he steals and somebody accuses him of being a thief, they all chase him. Brilliant!

I think there's definitely something to that idea. When Ricci makes off with the bike at 3:25, that other guy springs out of the doorway almost as if he was lying in wait for him. The first time I watched this scene, I was pressing my hand to my forehead, whispering "don't do it, man, don't do it," because I could already predict what was going to happen. The entire universe of this film has it in for Ricci!

What I love most about this scene is how it builds. Without any dialogue, you can see the gears turning in Antonio's head, as he contemplates doing something despicable simply so his family can eat another day. It makes us wonder, would WE do the same if presented with this situation?

I was sort of let down by him (but as a plot point it made me, the viewer, satisfied). You see how the World pushes someone to commit what was done to them. In this case, the story is a circle, there is nothing that differs between Antonio and the bycicle thief, because he became a bycicle thief. It's a World that is shown by the film to be mising empathy toward the other, there is no individual in the crowd Antonio and Bruno dissolve into in the final shot, but let's us in on what it means to live in those conditions and how we are conditioned by these.

Top 10 Films of All Time... Vittorio Di Sica's hallmark movie 'Bicycle Thieves' is definitely in that category.

One of the Greatest films of all time.

This movie is one of those with a depressing fatherhood/ childhood story that I am not strong enough to watch although I believe it is a masterpiece. My heart and eyes cannot take it.

After watching this movie I could not stop crying for Bruno. I don't know where he is now but his expressions are touched my heart. A great respect from India to the director, the actors specially for Bruno.....A great classic movie forever .

Sir thanks for your kind information.

One of the top 10 Great films ever made. Many great directors were inspired after seeing this movie, one of them being Satyajit Ray

as a child seeing your father,the one who is the most poweful being in the world for u breaks down and cry is the most painful feeling on earth

At 4:26, note how Antonio’s feelings are so overpowering that he doesn’t even react to being slapped in the face.

sica is sica, bresson is bresson, bunuel is bunuel...they are so vivid and unique, you can't judge or compare their artistry..."CINEMA"!!! what a wonderful form of art it is!!!! I'm in love

The subs are not good and some of them are missing :( At 5:22 that man never said "The man has enough trouble", he just says "Good morning everyone and thank you". I think it's more powerful that he's not explicit. Great movie

me and my father both cried over this scene last night...very powerful movie

How can a child actor be this much good!! unbelievable!

3:13 one of my favorite shots of all time

I'm pretty sure plenty of bikes were stolen in post-war Italy.

i've watched this movie over and over again and still cried watching it

At the end it said "Fine" but there is nothing fine about a family that's in the throes of financial ruin!

A movie which describes how the world ..treat a man with no one

Especially when the kid holds his father’s hand at 6:28. That’s rough. Very human.

There's a whole tragic irony to the situation... watch it, it's the best film I've ever seen. Depending on my mood, if not THE best film ever, haha! It will change your personal view and image of the film industry and the general realm of cinema. That is if you are open-minded, unless you enjoy the classics :) PLEASE WATCH IT'S AMAZING!

im not able to watch it without crying.

My eyes turned moist! Just tugs your heart. No need for words.Sublime!

I've seen this with an audience twice and been unable to hold back my emotion from what is one of the most powerful endings in film history. I try to get out before the lights go up. I did not watch it hear, have to steel myself.

Can't not cry

İzlediğim en iyi film.

just watch it to realize what cinema can do

I really love this part..so poweful in so many ways

Incredibly beautiful and moving film. But I always hated how no one helped him when his bike was stolen, yet when he steals a bike, there are 50,000 people chasing him before he’s even pedaled

Capolavoro of Vittorio De Sica❤

DEM CHEEKBONES! But seriously, this is a film that really touched my heart, and a rarity, too. Anyway, DEM CHEEKBONES!

Its real gut wrenching stuff. One of my favourite films

That is a really nice old movie . Bicycle thief is so sad.

"And you can thank god."

At least, the kid still loves his father, there's still a hope spot. Watch SCIUSCIA, De Sica's "other" masterpiece, its ending is far more devastating (which is saying a lot!)

I told myself I will not cry during this ending, but what do I do? The exact opposite...

loved, watched this when i was like 7, never fotgot it, masterpiece, oh and the calssic at the end Roma - Lazion =)

even now im crying..i feel that man so much cause same thing happened to me.

One of the best movies ever made.

If a friend asks you to watch some Italian neo-realist films with him, beware: neo-realist films are depressing as a rule.

This movie is the phenomina, its simple action s make me cry and give me a satisfactory pain

これは名作

Fucking had me in tears man :(

@youwishen You really do have to see the whole movie. Everything points to this scene, and you won't understand why it's so heartbreaking if you don't watch it all. I honestly think it's one of the best movies I've seen.

Well acted Scene!!! Just waiting and thinking should i take this bike....

Dammit this pierce my heart

one of d finest movie

@harrysharder I know, I just felt like being silly.

自転車をモチーフにした映画「Le gamin au velo」を思い出した。 あの映画も切なかった。 日本の少年犯罪の背景にある育児放棄が映画の着想につながったらしい。 2019年現在も日本の子供の貧困は切実だが、自殺率の高さも切実。 私も、高校時代の友人が自動車道交通事故で亡くなって、自転車しか運転しない主義になったから、自分の自転車にすごく愛着ある。 私の足でもあり、相棒でもある。 他の仕事を探す方向での方針転換ではなく、自転車探しに執着するところがまた切ない。

Kinda both LOL.. when the man says "A fine example you set for your son.." you have to see the rest of the film to see how unfair this knee jerk comment/treatment is... he doesn't deserve the scorn nor humiliation.

This movie never had an affect on me.

SPOILER! Do not watch the last scene if you haven't seen the film

That's why I always chain my bicycle. And take the front wheel. Otherwise you get problems like these.

Neorealism....finally films with a sad ending...

Nowadays bycycle thief is not uncommon in Italy.....but at that time it's not !

subtitles are poor and often wrong..that's a shame.

Learn to sprint a bicycle!...

GAWD! How depressing. Such PATHOS!! Good film, tho!

states that do not understand the demands of the peoples, the indifferent or just overbearing states, should be annihilated! we think that even today the primary needs of citizens in certain states are not guaranteed, what is more disgusting?

FUCK I FORGOT THIS MOVIE HAS A SAD ENDING FUCK ME XD AHAHA

Пора говорить ПРЯМО. ВСЁ ИСКУССТВО: КИНО, ТЕАТР, МУЗЫКА, КНИГИ, ПОЭЗИЯ, ЖИВОПИСЬ имеет ИСКЛЮЧИТЕЛЬНО ДВА ГЛОБАЛЬНЫХ СМЫСЛА , либо служит ПРОСЛАВЛЕНИЮ БОЖЬЕГО СЛОВА , либо дьяволу. СЛУЖИТЬ БОЖЬЕМУ СЛОВУ это значит , каждым КАДРОМ, РЕПЛИКОЙ, КУПЛЕТОМ и т.п. "ПРИВОДИТЬ" НАС, ЗРИТЕЛЕЙ, СЛУШАТЕЛЕЙ к ПОКАЯНИЮ, СПАСЕНИЮ ДУШИ, и соответственно наоборот, максимально удалять от него. МЕРЗКОЕ сатанинское КИНО. ДЬЯВОЛЬСКАЯ НАСМЕШКА, И пример МАНИПУЛЯЦИИ человеком. НО СНАЧАЛА. Любое упоминание В ФИЛЬМЕ о Боге обычное БОГОХУЛЬСТВО(ХУЛА НА ДУХА СВЯТОГО). НО БОГА ОБИДЕТЬ НЕ ВОЗМОЖНО ОН БЕССТРАСТЕН, А вот ХУЛА ЕГО это БОЛЬШОЙ ГРЕХ. А ГРЕХ это РАНА которую человек наносит прежде всего сам СВОЕЙ ДУШЕ. РАНА которая ОТКРЫВАЕТ ДУШУ ДЛЯ ДЕМОНОВ мучителей, БЕСОВ ПОРОЧНЫХ СТРАСТЕЙ, слуг дьявола. ПОЧЕМУ НАСМЕШКА. Сам же ФИЛЬМ прежде всего НАМЕРЕННО «РАЗЖИГАЕТ», но В ДУШАХ самих ЗРИТЕЛЕЙ, действие множества СТРАШНЫХ ПОРОЧНЫХ СТРАСТЕЙ таких как ГОРДЫНЯ, ЛУКАВСТВО, ТЩЕСЛАВИЕ(ПАГУБНАЯ СТРАСТЬ К ЛЮДСКОЙ СЛАВЕ), ГНЕВ, НЕНАВИСТЬ, МЕСТЬ, ПОХОТЬ, ЧРЕВОУГОДИЕ, КУРЕНИЕ, ТЯГА К АЛКОГОЛЮ, СРЕБРОЛЮБИЕ(ПАГУБНАЯ СТРАСТЬ К ДЕНЬГАМ), пагубную СТРАСТЬ КО всякой БЕСОВЩИНЕ, И главное ЛЮБОСТЯЖАНИЕ. А ЭТО всё ГРЕХИ. И ВОТ ТАК, ОГРОМНОЕ БОЛЬШИНСТВО ЛЮДЕЙ, ВОЛЬНО ИЛИ НЕ ВОЛЬНО СОГРЕШАЮТ(не вольно значит что, грех только у себя в уме, под действием той или иной порочной страсти, является таким же грехом), И ДЬЯВОЛ «ВВОДИТ» В ДУШУ человека ДЕМОНОВ МУЧИТЕЛЕЙ разных ПОРОЧНЫХ СТРАСТЕЙ. Ну А «ОБЩЕНИЕ» человека в жизни С любым ДЕМОНОМ, «ПРИВЕДЁТ» рано или поздно только к одному, или К ПСИХИЧЕСКОМУ РАССТРОЙСТВУ, или УБИЙСТВУ, или САМОУБИЙСТВУ. И к АДУ для ДУШИ после физической СМЕРТИ тела. А ПОЧЕМУ МАНИПУЛЯЦИЯ. «ПРИОРИТЕТНЫМ» демоном который завладевают душой человека при просмотре фильма, БУДЕТ ДЕМОН МУЧИТЕЛЬ ЛЮБОСТЯЖАНИЯ. ПОТОМУ ЧТО КАК реально примерно ВЫГЛЯДИТ ЭТОТ ДЕМОН ПОКАЗАНО В этом ФИЛЬМЕ. А ТАКЖЕ сам этот демон неизбежно будет РАЗЖИГАТЬ и ещё одну ПОРОЧНУЮ СТРАСТЬ, ВОРОВСТВО. И теперь ЗАЩИТА. При просмотре таких фильмов, ЕСЛИ СОГРЕШИЛ(даже только в мыслях, в данном случае почувствовал проявление пороков записанных выше), надо сразу же ПРОИЗНОСИТЬ МОЛИТВУ ГОСПОДА нашего ИИСУСА ХРИСТА. «ГОСПОДИ ИИСУСЕ ХРИСТЕ СЫНЕ БОЖИЙ СПАСИ И ПОМИЛУЙ МЕНЯ ГРЕШНОГО». Стопроцентно помогает. И вот как БЫЛО БЫ ХОРОШО, ЧТОБЫ КАЖДЫЙ ПОНИМАЛ это. НО ЭТО очень «тонкие» моменты, ПОНЯТЬ которые МОЖНО будет ТОЛЬКО ЧИТАЯ, И ГЛАВНОЕ, ИЗУЧАЯ КНИГУ ЖИЗНИ, СВЯТОЕ ЕВАНГЕЛИЕ. Да и ПОРОЧНЫЕ СТРАСТИ это ГОРДЫНЯ, ТЩЕСЛАВИЕ, ЛУКАВСТВО, СЕБЯЛЮБИЕ, ТРУСОСТЬ, ЧЕЛОВЕКОУГОДИЕ, ЗАВИСТЬ, ЖАДНОСТЬ, ОСУЖДЕНИЕ, АЛЧНОСТЬ, СКУПОСТЬ, СРЕБРОЛЮБИЕ, ЛИЦЕМЕРИЕ, УНЫНИЕ, ЧРЕВОУГОДИЕ, ГНЕВ, РЕВНОСТЬ, ВОРОВСТВО, РАЗДРАЖЕНИЕ, ВЛАСТОЛЮБИЕ, ПОХОТЬ, ЛЮБОПЫТСТВО, ПЬЯНСТВО, КУРЕНИЕ, ПРЕЛЮБОДЕЯНИЕ, ОБИДЧИВОСТЬ, ЗАСТЕНЧИВОСТЬ, ХИТРОСТЬ, РАССЕЯННОСТЬ и т.д. и т.п. И у КАЖДОГО ЧЕЛОВЕКА своя(СТРАСТЬ), так сказать, ЛИЧНАЯ. И ЭТО всё БОЛЕЗНИ, но БОЛЕЗНИ ДУХОВНОГО ПЛАНА. А ПОЧЕМУ мы ВСЕ БОЛЬНЫ. После ГРЕХОПАДЕНИЯ АДАМА и ЕВЫ они были ИЗГНАНЫ ИЗ РАЯ. ДО грехопадения они ЖИЛИ В РАЮ подобно АНГЕЛАМ. После, БОГ одел их в «одежды» что значит в тела, и ДАЛ ЗАПОВЕДЬ «ПЛОДИТЕСЬ и РАЗМНОЖАЙТЕСЬ» и заселяйте Землю. НО для размножения, В ПОЛОВЫЕ ОТНОШЕНИЯ ПРИХОДИЛОСЬ ВСТУПАТЬ БРАТУ С СЕСТРОЙ. И ЭТО было вызвано необходимостью а НЕ ПОХОТЬЮ. И ВОТ ПОЧЕМУ КАЖДЫЙ рождающийся ребёнок уже ГРЕШЕН. Только не физическое(физическое если вызвано похотью, между родными братьями и сёстрами), а так называемое ПЕРВОРОДНОЕ (ДУХОВНОЕ , ПРИЧИНА которого ГРЕХОПАДЕНИЕ) ПОВРЕЖДЕНИЕ(ГРЕХ, ПОРОЧНАЯ СТРАСТЬ) НА КАЖДОМ человеке при рождении. И У КАЖДОГО человека своя СОБСТВЕННАЯ СТРАСТЬ. И ЭТО БОЛЕЗНЬ, но БОЛЕЗНЬ прежде всего ДУХОВНОГО ПЛАНА. И именно ПОРОЧНЫЕ СТРАСТИ людей являются ПРИЧИНОЙ ВСЕХ БЕД, СТРАДАНИЙ, и РАЗРУШИТЕЛЬНЫХ ДЕЙСТВИЙ на Земле. А вот условия ОСВОБОЖДЕНИЯ ОТ этого ПЕРВОРОДНОГО ГРЕХА(ПОВРЕЖДЕНИЯ, СТРАСТИ) как раз и ЗАПИСАНЫ в КНИГЕ ЖИЗНИ, СВЯТОМ ЕВАНГЕЛИЕ. НО СНАЧАЛА , чтобы донести их людям, сам СЫН, БОГ СЛОВО ВОЧЕЛОВЕЧИЛСЯ(ИИСУС ХРИСТОС, имя ИИСУС означает СПАСИТЕЛЬ). А ЕГО за это РАСПЯЛИ. Но ОСТАЛОСЬ СВЯТОЕ ЕВАНГЕЛИЕ. Вот ЭТО и есть БОЖЕСТВЕННЫЕ УСЛОВИЯ , во первых ИЗБАВЛЕНИЯ ОТ ПЕРВОРОДНОГО ГРЕХА(а правильней сказать от ПОВРЕЖДЕНИЯ), И во вторых ДЛЯ СПАСЕНИЯ ДУШИ человеческой, ПОЛУЧЕНИЯ ЖИЗНИ ВЕЧНОЙ для ДУШИ, ПОСЛЕ физической СМЕРТИ тела , В ЦАРСТВИЕ НЕБЕСНОМ. И поэтому ИСТИННАЯ ВЕРА В БОГА, в первую очередь ЗАКЛЮЧАЕТСЯ В «БОРЬБЕ» каждого ЧЕЛОВЕКА, ПРИ ЗЕМНОЙ ЖИЗНИ, СО своими собственными ПОРОЧНЫМИ СТРАСТЯМИ, И только ТАК можно получить СПАСЕНИЕ для своей ДУШИ. Ну И ЕСЛИ каждый человек захочет "БОРОТЬСЯ" СО своими ПОРОЧНЫМИ СТРАСТЯМИ , ТО для начала, НУЖНО ПОВЕРИТЬ В БОГА, ПРЕСВЯТУЮ ТРОИЦУ: ОТЦА(СОЗДАТЕЛЯ ВСЕГО ЖИВОГО И НЕ ЖИВОГО, ВИДИМОГО мира и НЕ ВИДИМОГО),через СЫНА БОГА СЛОВО(ИИСУСА ХРИСТА), СВЯТОГО ДУХА. А ЧТОБЫ "ПРИЙТИ" к БОГУ или ПОЗНАТЬ БОГА необходимо ПОКАЯНИЕ. Ну А для того ЧТОБЫ ПОНЯТЬ ВСЁ что написано выше , И для ИСКРЕННЕГО ХРИСТИАНСКОГО ПОКАЯНИЯ, которое необходимо УСПЕТЬ(потому что ВРЕМЕНИ осталось очень МАЛО, ВОЗМОЖНО даже ПРИМЕРНО 1 МЕСЯЦ, И ВСЁ(смотри СВЯТОЕ ЕВАНГЕЛИЕ от МАТФЕЯ, ГЛ. 24)) СДЕЛАТЬ при ЗЕМНОЙ ЖИЗНИ ЧЕЛОВЕКА, ПЕРВЫМ "шагом" будет (и как об этом уже упоминалось выше) ЧТЕНИЕ и ГЛАВНОЕ, ИЗУЧЕНИЕ КНИГИ ЖИЗНИ, СВЯЩЕННОГО ПИСАНИЯ НОВЫЙ ЗАВЕТ. ✋🏻

it always gets me when I see the boy tries to help his defenceless father after he stole the bike and got caught by the crowd and grabbing his father's coat and crying "Papa! Papa!" 4:12 This movie is iconic in respect to it demonstrating us subconsciously the basis of all the economical problems in the world, then and now, which is overpopulation and its subsequent unemployment. Add wars to it, the problems are manifold. But today (as opposed to then when this movie was made) there is another problem, major problem. Today we should consider another factor that creates more unemployment: the outsourcing of the available jobs to India and hiring cheap Indian bad tech workers in the US and replacing them with American tech workers, all for the reason of cheap labor. Death to corporations because they're destroying the world. And FUCK Trump.
