Film Review - The Bicycle, It's So Interesting

The bicycle is a symbol of the future, freedom and equality. It's intriguing how long it existed in a proto form that was pretty useless. And then how rapidly it became modern. One of my favourite films is butch cassity in the sun dance kid - which you will have seen. I'm hoping please say yes. Ye lto oit a long time ago, a long time away. That was complete. No, noi it's lovely. The bicycle moment was, was there in the late nineteenth century. But it's just a weird, incongruous scene that shouldn't really be there in the midle of te west. You lousy bicycle."
