Relationship Between Father And Father In Bicycle Thieves And La Promesse

Narrative a chain of event linked by cause and effect occurring in time and space. When watching a film, us as viewers have to understand the director’s thoughts, emotion and reson for writing their films. When you watch a movie you have to understand the story that’s being played on screen and the plot which is not shown on screen. We call this a director’s theme behind the films story. In all films director’s way create a film that is not practically enunciated but drawn out through the films drama presented on screen and off. In two amazing films, Bicycle Thieves and La Promesse, share the same theme in their film with the relationships between a father and son.

At a young age a son looks up to his father idolizing everything thing that he does. If its dressing like him, imitating everything that he does or the way he addresses people. He tries to do everything that his father does to make sure he has his attention and his approval. At times in Bicycle Thieves, De Sica shows this relationship many time throughout the movie of Bruno dressing, walking and working like his father.

Although, it may not be his fault that he feels that he’s an adult because his father is sometimes treating him as one. In one part of the movie you see Antonio and Bruno setting at a pizza restaurant drinking wine together. When I see this scene, I see a boy that feels that he’s an adult because he’s drinking wine with his father.

Although, we are so use to young boys wanting to be like their father Igor is onshore if he even has a father too look up to. In La Promesse Pierre doesn’t actually narrate to use that Igor wants to be nothing like his father, we see in the film that the relationship between Igor and is father isn’t on good terms.

They want to be a better person and or father then their father was to them and at times you see that in the film between Igor’s and Rogers relationship but at times you also see that Igor is confused by either doing what’s right or doing what’s wrong. In many parts of the movie Igor is forced, by his father, to keep the death of Amidou away from Assita for his father’s wellbeing. At one point of the film Igor gives some money to Assita so that she can take care of her and her son while Amidou was gone. For his actions Igor was beaten by his father and then given a tattoo. When you watch this scene Pierre wants to show the viewers that Igor is stuck between doing what his father said or doing what’s right. Igor knows that the right thing to do is to tell Assita that Amidou is died. But, because Igor’s father told him not to tell her it’s hard for him to disobey his
