I will pay for the following article The Bicycle Thief by Vittorio De Sica. The work is to be 9 pages with three to five sources, with in-text citations and a reference page. There are no signs of business activity or even happiness. The setting seems like a desert with harsh daylight revealing the paucity of the people. The color is not idealized but shows the authentic colors of the surroundings and people who inhabit it. The effect of the dry, barren atmosphere is the mood of hopelessness and poverty. The music is sad, reflecting the miserable economic degradation of Italy. The music focuses more on the anxious emotions of the people who are poor and unemployed. These men are entering a building when a man comes out holding employment cards. The crown of unemployed men look formally dressed in suits, perhaps hoping to look their best so that they can get much-needed jobs, but these are shabby suits. They all look tired, not from work, but from waiting for work to come.

The man calls Ricci, but he is across the street, possibly because he must have been waiting for a job far too long that he is not expecting any job to come for him at all. In a medium shot, the deep focus shows the background of unemployed men. Ricci’s costume looks old and crumpled like the rest of the unemployed, but at least, he is managing to look presentable. His body language suggests some weakness in him, probably because of hunger or emotional duress because of unemployment. He speaks softly and candidly too. He even reveals that he does not have a bike, only to take it back because he does not want to wait “another two years” to get a job. He hurries to leave before someone else takes his job for him. The atmosphere shows Italian neorealism by showing post-World War II as it is- full of destitution and economic uncertainty.

Antonio and Maria are happily married despite their poverty. In the scene where Antonio goes to work to report that he will be the new bill poster, he goes out of the workplace and he sees that Maria is waiting for him. He wants her to see his workplace which is big and where employees have lockers of their own. He picks her up so she can see what is inside the office by the window. The gesture is romantic because it is about sharing experiences and happiness together.
