Movie Analysis

Title: Bisekletta

Introduction
This film is an Italian film, a multi-awarded film in the early part of 1990's. It is a very nice film which talks about the love of two young boys whose status in life is extreme- one is poor and marginalized and the other one belongs to a very influential and affluent family. The story revolves in the lives of these two boys who once were very close to each other. Because of the Second World War they were separated until they meet again but then they were already very old. It is very significant in the scenes that the love of each is still so intense despite the ages that have passed by. The word Bisekletta is an Italian word which is also used in our dialect. When translated to English this means "Bicycle". As anyone would read the title it is not very attractive but for curiosity sake, one can get interested about it and will question why it is entitled Bisekletta?

Points to ponder

This movie is showing that poverty is not a hindrance to success but rather an inspiration to move on. The poor boy in the movie has the determination to move on despite his status. His bicycle which is the only tool for him made him reached his goal. The rich boy on the other hand is always there to help his friend until they were able to succeed. The love that binds these two boys is exemplary that in any time of our lives if there is only love, the world will be peaceful and progressive. It is in loving that it makes the world go round. It is in loving that people will be contented and happy. That anything we do if there is love everything will follow no matter how difficult it may become. I am convinced that love will conqujer all.
