Beijing Bicycle Directed by : Wang Xiaoshuai
W
ang Xiaoshuai’s Beijing Bicycle is easily one the masterpieces of Chinese cinema. The movie was released in 2001 and is a simple story of two boys who share their bone of contention, a bicycle. And through every bit of the movie, Wang has succeeded in making the bicycle the focus of our attention. Beijing Bicycle has often been compared to and reminds us of Vittorio de Sica’s 1948 Italian neorealist masterpiece The Bicycle Thief where a poor man who recently comes to the city from the country wins a job at a bicycle courier business and on his first day his bicycle stolen. He then proceeds with his son to search and retrieve his bicycle. Luckily, Beijing Bicycle quickly veers away from being a simple update of Sica’s classic. Gui is a country boy and arrives in Beijing in search of employment. He finds the job of a courier boy at a courier company. Qin, a rich neighbour in high heels and expensive clothes, dazzles him. The company issues Gui a bicycle which |60| India-China Chronicle January-February 2011
he must pay for out of his wages. The bicycle gets stolen one day while he’s delivering letters to a company. Gui’s hunt for his bicycle begins and he finally comes across the thief, a school student, Jian; the determined Gui follows Jian home and steals back the bicycle from where Jian hides it. For Jian, the bicycle is the key to teen society - with his pals and with Xiao, a girl he fancies. Jian who’s looking out for Gui traces him down; Gui tries to run off with the bicycle several times but is stopped by Jian and his gang of schoolboys. Gui stubbornly tries to reclaim it in the face of great odds. But for Jian to lose the bicycle would mean humiliation. For the first hour of the movie, the bicycle moves back and forth between them. Wang shot one of the most brilliant scenes for the film where the bicycle is on the ground as Gui, still bleeding, clings on to it while hysterically crying and screaming. Eventually the two “owners” strike a deal whereby they alternate possession of the bicycle. The story takes a turn when Jian’s girl friend Xiao falls for another soul-mate, Da Huan and he hits Da Huan with a brick. Jian, a brat feeling defeated finally hands over
the bicycle to Gui for good. The boys gang targets Jian in retaliation for the assault he just committed, and, although he is entirely innocent, they also target Gui, who is with Jian for their routine bicycle exchange. In effect, by their coownership the bicycle has reduced the two boys to a single identity; beating up one now requires beating up the other. Both “owners,” in fact, are beaten to a pulp, and the bicycle, once the bone of contention between them, is destroyed in the fracas. Gui, the gentle country boy, picks up a slab and bludgeons one of the gang members before retrieving “his” bicycle, whose bent and broken carcass he carries through the streets. The two characters are compared and contrasted, and it works as an effective class study. The two young men and the people around them - are swept up in the youth’s desperation. The direction, editing and execution are particularly great in the film. The climax involves two intersecting chases and although in the end we are asked to sympathize with him, the high school kid is a brat and has a character that is
unsympathetic. While Jian, the school boy, is extraordinarily unlikable. Gui’s character in the film is that of a country boy and reflects China’s rural poverty. Most of Gui’s earnings is retained by the company he works for against instalments towards the bicycle. Here Wang showcases the old connection between Chinese capitalism and Chinese feudalism from the past. In addition, the young couriers stand in a row with their new bicycles; at one point when Gui pedals through Beijing streets, the camera takes in a long, tracking close up of one of the spinning wheels. It’s as if the boy were an extension of the bicycle. Wang is a true visual artist; his shots do not elaborate on ideas embedded in the script but, instead, formally embody these ideas. The film explores the theme of youth as well as several social issues, including class, youth delinquency, theft, and rural-urban socio-economic divisions and change. There’s not much closure. But still, Beijing Bicycle is an excellent film and a must watch for cinema lovers. January-February 2011 India-China Chronicle |61|
