The Bicycle Thief

[RussianGirlie]

Bruno is portrayed like a little man, his father even lets him drink. but he looks soo young and unable to enjoy his childhood, he has to work to help hos family survive. its heartbreaking

[someoneweird92]

can someone tell me what is the name of this song ?

[fingo92]

@someoneweird92 è nata na criatura....neapolitan sog

[diavoletto1968]

@someoneweird92  The name of song is "Tammurriata nera"

[playmymusic96]

Wooowwwwwwwww.... Only on YouTube does everyone have to disagree with everyone else and have a fucking ridiculous argument about nothing. Mature. You both are fucking retarded and should not speak to each other if you disagree. Who cares what the theme is?? I just want to watch the damn clip!

[aswasakkattu]

unmatchable

[KublayKahn]

I love how the film makes you reflect on criminality, on how it's both illegal and necessary.

[azurenscens]

@KublayKahn i like sex but you won't see me flaunting my toosh on the streets. balzacs

[KublayKahn]

@azurenscens whatever significance you wished to achieve with that statement can only be exceeded by your stupidity....

[azurenscens]

@KublayKahn and whatever compelled you to mention the most obvious theme in the movie and it being the reason for your liking of the film surpasses the idiocy and united redundancies of mankind...

[KublayKahn]

@azurenscens it seems you have done everything I set out to do ,but to yourself

[azurenscens]

@KublayKahn lol what you just said is like a halfwit's equivalent of 'i know you are but what am i'

[azurenscens]

@KublayKahn yes...because i was being sincere when i said i like sex and all that jazz- that was actually my attempted equivalent to your first comment. i was aiming for something just as bland. and even tho your comment was obviously relevant to the film whereas mine was not, i still think i take the cake for having the more thought-provoking comment.

[KublayKahn]

@azurenscens giving up huh? good you would've lost anyway :)

[azurenscens]

@KublayKahn i think you're confusing my effort to end this conversation with your delusion of me giving up. apparently you're not aware so i'll be the one to inform you: to take the cake means to win. i ended it-or tried to- after claiming victory, but you insist on continuing this ridiculous conversation...so go ahead and get the last word in if it makes you feel any better because i'm done. and just try not to misinterpret any more simple expressions.

[azurenscens]

@KublayKahn one more thing: stating the obvious does nothing more than take up space, hence your initial comment and this drawn-out episode of bickering.

[ryanmshepard92]

I think all of us can relate to the father at some point in our lives. We all just want to be able to provide for our families and make an honest living, but sometimes life hands you a shit hand of cards and there's nothing you can do about it.

[XtraMile1]

Excellent movie....A man today would be very successful to have such a wife, son and friends to stick by him during rough times!

[manco82]

What makes the film so great is the actors weren't actors and the emotions they're expressing in the film were very real.

[Quorthon1985]

this movie is not cinema, it's art.

[TheMohdd00]

@Quorthon1985 Actually Cinema is considered the 7th ART

[Johannasdaughter]

I took one university course, "Social Realism and the Italian Cinema" about 25 years ago...of all the extraordinary films, I watched, this was one of my 3 favorites.. Also recommend " I Compagni" and "Seduced and Abandoned"...

[pashuku]

00:20 outstanding

[dc999]

I had asked earlier what is the song that is played by the band. its Tammurriata nera. But actually i was wondering the name of the second song that comes on as this clip ends

[ITALOS19841]

μια απο τις καλυτερες ταινιες του νεορρεαλισμου!!

[elena047]

Un capolavoro (a masterpiece)

[paul10812]

I LOVE THIS MOVIE, a must own

[Edhallick]

This was an incredible movie and just as relevant back then as it is today. Some people just have no idea how incredibly devastating theft can be to another person. The same thing happened to me when I was a kid. All year I saved up to buy a bike so I could get a paper route and when I got it, one day I rode it to school and chained it to a fence and when I came out it was gone! To this day 30 years later I still fantasize about killing the person who did it. The agony that f*ck put me through!

[lucysteiner]

Theft is always unfortunate, but this movie symbolizes more than just the theft. Its a story about a father and son.

[SSJkiller]

Luigi!

Escuzi!

Linguini!

Ravioooooolilllllllll!

Bicicletaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaa!

[dirkpdavis]

It's on the big screen tonight and Saturday(July 10-11) in Toronto. I can't wait.

[Jijaco]

ravioli...bycicleta!!!!!

[kevantailor88]

i just watched it. brilliant movie! plot is so simple yet so powerful.

[lucysteiner]

I cant stop crying whenever i see this move. Its incredible

[avamposto]

Because you have a noble soul. Only who have a noble soul, can see and really understand this movie

[lisashenmaid]

the kid is ridiculously cute....everyone in my screening kept aww-ing at the screen

[anniemihn]

This film changed my life. I saw it when I was 17 and my political view was never the same after this master piece of humanism. The emotion I feel is as strong today as it was back then. One of the best films ever made.

[kr0ck5]

i totally agree with u, i only saw it a couple of months ago at a screening at uni and i fell in love with it, such a powerful film!

[Disappearer88]

That was really cool. Make sure you tell the news when Hitler comes back to life and whites take over the world. I'm sure its going to happen.

[blackfoliage1]

The father/son relationship is captured so real here in this film. Amazing.

[jorkohama]

capolavoro indiscusso uno dei migliori film di sempre.

[likescissors]

Why make your last five bucks last a week of pain when you can have a day eating like a king, right?

[IvanFilorusso]

This movie shows the bed reality of Humanity:

a men whose bycicle was stolen is arrested when he try to get one for an honest work ; on the other side a professional thief of bycicles was protected by his scum and ignored by the burocracy of laws. Strong Moral teachings by the movies. One of the best tale.

[neosoc]

@IvanFilorusso I think you missed the point of the movie. By a mile. The film isn't supposed to be a morality tale about the law and bureaucracy, but about the bleakness and lack of hope for working class people in post-war Italy. There's a reason that De Sica chose to cast no professional actors (similar to Eisenstein's casting habits).

[joolenka]

Magical film. A perfect example of why humanity has the need to make films. And why, when done well, they're so important to us as sentient beings.

[dip77here]

one of the best film i have ever seen........the little BRUNO is brilliant......the film made me cry...

[burstype89]

ma too!! And I NEVER cry!! I watched it in Film class today!! BRILLIANT FILM...the Grand Illusion is also a good 1.

[Isaiasm2006]

I love this film. I wrote a paper, comparison and contrast with "The Pursuit of Happiness" Both films were breath taking.

[lonny1956]

Enzo Staiola is perfect. Never was the role of a child played to such perfection.

One of the best movies ever made.

[tokomajitsu]

（＞＜）

[dc999]

Does anyone know what the name of the song is that starts to play at the end of this clip. (its the second song of the restaurant scene) I want to learn this on my fiddle.

[lombado]

It is a classical napolitan song. The name is "Tammurriata nera"

[dc999]

Thank you very much!

[tetrisclock]

The lyrics to that song are hilarious.

[jadasic]

Hey the kid who played Bruno was good in this.passionate little guy

[gundamWWW]

The thing that pisses me off about the rich kid is not the fact that he's rich but the way he smiles...

[tetrisclock]

Let's not forget his creepy hair.

[cubes11]

Wahahaha... I'm so glad you picked that up. I thought I was the only one.

[redmail123]

i want earnestly to have the movie in my library. Can I ? Is Free download possible. I love the movie.

[YieArKungFu]

I'm sure you can probably find a torrent file for it somewhere but the quality will probably suck.  Buy it if you want it.

[Isaiasm2006]

You could find it at local Video stores who have a classic section.

[dnzz]

my favorite scene from my favorite movie, Enzo Staiola as Bruno is the cutest<3 He's acting really great, too. This is a really special scene.

[footballdemocracy]

that kid is seriously adorable. and i just love love love this moment.

[wsvler]

...mi fa sempre triste questo film sebbene un grande film.

[quiquiribu]

Anche io!

[131crayonjo2010]

oh my god this scene seriously makes me cry... i hate the situation ricci's getting himself into. and i hate how that rich boy can eat anything he wants to while ricci and bruno have to suffer :-( ug. SO SAD. i should stop watching this film, since all it does is makes me depressed!

[YieArKungFu]

That's a sign of a great film though, you feel the emotions that the characters feel. If a movie doesn't make you laugh, cry, angry, ect... it's not worth watching.

[utubesucks2003]

Tragic and beautiful

[neilbarrie]

Why did you capture my capture? I know the films is about thieving, but don't you think thats taking things a bit too far!?

[neilbarrie]

Dude, why did you capture my capture!?

[mstrfizzy]

A great film. All non-actors. The father was a worker in a steel mill and the boy was pulled from the streets of Rome. He (the boy) went on to be a math teacher. The father went back to the factory, but got alot of flak for his work in this film from his fellow workers (jealousy I imagine)

[bugramps]

The kid is amazing in this film. No professional actors in it either. My favorite with the boy is toward the beginning when he's cleaning up the bike for his pop and he goes on dramatically about how it was dented while at the pawn and how he would have said something about it if it were him. And, there's a scene where he falls down and exasperately informs his father of his tumble! It's a great work ... if you don't like foreign flicks then see it for at least the kid.

[burstype89]

That scene in the beginning was magical. I like the way the kid acts like an adult, but at the same time he has a child's attributes.

[evildead167]

Fantastic scene. All comes through in the context of the story.

[lastarjessica]

i do like this movie...it's so real!Go bless y'all!!

~jess~

[toingky]

do you have a full episode for this film?

[ezau]

Vittorio de Sica revolutionized film history with this piece of art...

[rrpower]

My favorite scene of one of my favorite films.

[burstype89]

mine too...it was also a sad scene, the way he broke down in front of his son. Magical Film!
