This movie is shown in Italy post World War 2. Jobs are scarce and Anthony is grateful to have a job, which requires a bicycle. Unfortunately it is stolen on his first day. A theme that I felt in this movie was the value of father and son. Also I felt it really emphasized on the poverty in post war Italy.
The Bicycle Thief presented a Italian based movie in black/white with clear captions of the characters, and events that keeps me, the viewer intrigued. One scene followed a worker in a buy & Sell store climbing a shelf of numerous towels and as the clerk climbed the film followed closely and I felt like I was climbing along with the person.
