"Bicycle Thieves" (1948)

Italian movie with English subtitles. Entire world against one man and man loses. (Everyone else catches a break.) Then the movie gets depressed. Then the depression gets depressed. After that, the movie ends on a down note. So, why am I watching this? Because it's an example of Italian Neo-Realism (which means times after war are depressed and we're going tell about it in real time [aka "slow" by today's standards]) and because it was one of the 1st movies to teach Americans how to watch movies with subtitles.

Do me a favor. If you have the chance to do a "1st", pick something at least slightly upbeat for posterity, will ya?
