Bicycle Thieves

Bicycle Thieves exemplifies the life in Italy post World War II.  Italian neorealism is portrayed in this movie where the Father tries his best to support his family but clearly struggles. This film shows the social orders in Italy.  Specifically, when the thieves steal Antinio’s bicycle and the desperate measures he goes to in order to get it back.  This story of the bicycle represents Italian neorealism by the working class and the challenges they are faced with.
