In the film The Bicycle Thief the audience is able to witness all the elements of neorealism. The use of non professional actors, to low class working characters, the flattening of scenes, and the location where it was shot at; are just a few of the essential elements that can be found in this film along with copious neorealist films. It is clear that the director used a variety of shots, angles, and set-ups in order to create certain emotions at very specific scenes in the film. From the start we are able to obtain a feel about the film’s tone as a result of the lack of color. The use of black and white truly helped the audience experience what Italy was like during the post World War 2. As a result of the depressing post war we are able to detect how the act of trying to improve oneself can sometimes lead to desperation.

For the many Arizona State University student and staff members who own a bicycle, there is no greater concern than having it stolen from them. Thousands of Sun Devils on the Tempe, Arizona campus possess a bike for the sole purpose of conveniently going to and from classes, not to mention their jobs as well. Bikes are expensive, and when one is stolen from a student it not only breaks their bank, it can also cause them to miss a class or be late to work. Combatting this crime has been historically difficult for ASU’s police department, who owns the problem of bike theft on the Tempe, Downtown Phoenix, West, and Polytechnic campuses. In the history of Arizona State

Bicycle Thieves gave viewers a clear view of crisis of masculinity within Antonio and this was further highlighted with the presence of a protagonist child in the film. In the film we see Antonio’s struggle to save his expected capability to provide for his family as a man (Ruberto & Wilson). However, the fact that Bruno was employed at the time Antonio got himself a job pointed out his incapability as a man and viewers starts to see Bruno as a small man rather than just a child because he was seemingly adequate

Thievery, the only way to get anything in this town. To go from peasants to nobles. Not too many people knew this fact but in the city of Kendash it was the only way. Kendash was know for its pyromancers, and artifacters but is now know for the thieves below the city. Few remember the pyromancers and now think they were a myth so the city could gain popularity.

Dispatch advised me that they received a call from Walmart Loss Prevention Officer, Marion Edwards. Edwards advised that there were two females concealing items in several backpacks. Edwards further advised dispatch that the females were with two males.

Juror characteristics that would be beneficial to the defendant would be to have someone on the jury who is suffering from a mental disorder or have a loved one who is controlling it with medications. Someone who works in the field of mental illness would also be a plus for the defense. When you have someone, who works with people with mental disorders they tend to have a better understanding of what type of person or illness they are dealing with. The defense will be looking for people who can be unprejudiced about the law, and will not believe that the law always makes the right decision (Hullinger April 1, 2015).

Trivial details that initially appear insignificant may present greater importance. In Flann O'Brien's The Third Policeman, an unnamed narrator attempts to enlist the help of the local authorities in his search of a missing treasure. Unfortunately for him, the policemen exhibit extremely odd behavior, and their eccentric natures create multiple hinderances in his quest. While these behaviors often differ, the one aspect that remains constant is their obsession with bicycles. Throughout the novel, the bicycle becomes a reoccurring symbol that the narrator cannot escape. Although the bicycle seems to be a trivial part of the narrator's journey, it is an integral component of his adventure, and represents the illogicality and repetition the narrator is forced to endure.

i think that when the actors were stealing the bike the people walking by were being sexist, stero typing, and racist. When the white guy actor was trying to steal the bike nobody stopped him. They asked if it was his and he said no, but they still didn't stop him. When the black guy actor was trying to steal the bike somebody stopped him in the first minute. When the first person yelled at him to stop a lot of other people rushed over. When the young white girl actor was stealing the bike nobody stopped her in fact mostly all of them (guys) helped her steal the bike. I think this was sexist because when the girl was stealing the bike people helped her steal it, but when the white, or black guy were stealing it they both got stopped and

While Rossellini’s Rome Open City portrays the struggle for freedom, De Sica’s Bicycle Thieves tries to find the human face. He discovered it not in the exceptional sorrow of war but in the misery of daily life where war is just one aspect of the human lot. Bicycle Thieves takes place at a specific time under a unique series of social conditions that shape both its narrative and its embrace of the Neorealist style.

Understanding patterns and motivation of crimes is important for solving the mysteries surrounding them. In this sense, theories can be used to explain crime phenomena and answer the questions involved. Through theory, important aspects surrounding a crime can be discovered. Therefore, understanding the patterns and motivations of crimes can be helpful towards preventing their occurrence. This paper focuses on robbery as a type of crime. The two theories that are applied to robbery, in this case, are strain theory and social disorganization theory. Robbery usually involves unlawful taking of property from an organization or an individual through use of force or threat of force. There may also be

	The tragedy is not Antonio's previous two years of unemployment- it is that he has no future in his new job, due to the theft of his bike. Antonio must face this tragedy with no public support other than his friend Baiocco. Baiocco's willingness to help with his friends and his optimistic response to Maria constitute another case of human optimism. This form of optimism pervades the film with Antonio's perseverance and determination to find the stolen bike. These events stimulate the viewer's mind to think of solutions related to Antonio's situation, perhaps to try to solve problems of post-war Italy such as crime, famine, health issues, living condition, etc.; ills that have affected society then and now around the globe.

Filmic landscapes in The Bicycle Thief reveal the reel and the real, the widespread social conditions and their social meanings for the working-class in desperate conditions. De Sica uses mise-en-scene to reveal poverty and mobility to underline the lack of movement of the poor. In the end, they steal from each other, an ironic misdeed, when the rich steals from them the most, specifically by denying them better economic opportunities. The ending is pessimistic but realistic: the poor have no one else but themselves, as they huddle to an uncertain

I do not really consider myself a thief. In fact if asked, I would probably proudly say with a sense of self righteousness that I have never stolen anything in my life. Thieves are criminals, and I am definitely not a criminal. Except for actually I kind of have stolen something, so really I am a thief. So that makes me both a criminal and a liar.
