This film was an italian neo realism that portrayed a man and his son, and their struggling family. Its obviously an on location film in the crowded city streets of rome. Traffic everywere, people everywere and ect.
The movie also goes to show alot of residential areas in the downtown portions of the city,such as when our main characters were confronted, by wat seemed to be a mafia type crowd, when he found his bicycle thief.
Over all, the structure of the movie gave a old school real life feel. It seemed not to have much structure at first up until the bicyle was stolen. The movie came off as to what seemed to be an ordinary day for our character, and really did not have that hollywood resolution or happy ending.

Good job on this entry, as your ideas are backed up by specific filmic elements and devices. Might be useful to include, for the reader, some context as to why they are living such a desperate and poor lifestyle, the source of the idea for the film (fascism, post-war).
