Brompton Bicycle is well known manufacturer of folding bikes and they want to improve and gain more shares in this fast growing global market.

The film Icicle Thief sets as homage of the famous neorealist film The Bicycle Thief. However, unlike the original The Bicycle Thief, the Icicle Thief uses meta-cinematic technology to show four different planes: the black-and-white film THE ICICLE THIEF, which describes the hardship of a Italian family during post-war; the television studio, where presents the black –and –white film; the middle class family watches the film on televisions; and the funny television commercials that keep interrupting the film. The interactions between the television commercials and the film characters lead the pure black-and-white film to absurd consequence, which ridicules the how modern society takes neo-realistic film into a part of consumerism. For the film Nuovo Cinema Paradiso, the Cinema Paradiso servers to brings joyous and pleasure to empty souls and pitiful lives during the post-war time period. The cinemas are far more than entertainment in people’s heart; they represent the hope and joy and led people to escapes from reality.

(Understanding Theories of Criminal Victimization Robert F. Meier and Terance D. Miethe Pg. 475) This theory is strongly reinforced by what occurred September 29th, the New York City Hudson Henry Parkway is no place for your typical road rage and upon seeing what looked to be the start of a conflict Lien should have immediately laid off the bikers to protect his family instead he fed into the teasing of the bikers dragging him into a high-risk environment. Target attractiveness plays a huge role here in this case because there were many vehicles out on the Parkway on this busy Sunday travel yet for unknown reasoning Lien’s Range Rover was chosen, this brings up the questions of whether he did something major to attract the bikers or maybe was it just the fact that he was driving a high end SUV, making him a likely target of the group. Whatever the case may have been had Lien backed off and did as the bikers wished he wouldn’t have been singled out and this story would have never came about. However the last part of this theory plays a substantial role in the whole situation, which is, the absence of guardianship, this was very apparent as there was not a single cop throughout this whole entire scene on a busy highway, typically the cops would be all over something of this nature however on the 29th things were different and for whatever the reason the police failed to respond quickly and the lack of guardianship made this crime unfold into what could have been a fatal attack in the streets of New York

The harsh recession our country has dug itself into is possible to recover from, but just as any illness can leave you under the weather for a long period of time, the economic struggle we face will take time to fix as well.
