    [Exhibition of China Film Archive] I was full of question marks when I watched it: Is this an adventure of being a silly girl? The tight-rope walker who was clever-toothed and awkward said something very simple and playful, but kind and warm. At the end, Anthony Quinn’s performance was really shocking. In fact, the movie is Fellini's gift of love to his wife. But it reminds me: Poor people must be hateful. In any case, watching the completion of work is brainwashed by the theme song.

    Fellini had countless lovers in his life, but never left his wife. That innocent and kind, little woman who has always endured his willfulness and bad temper. He expressed his love and apology for her with this "Broad Road". Although Fellini has such a magnificent reputation, perhaps in his heart, he is always just a wandering entertainer in the world, and only his wife is his most loyal and only traveling companion in the exodus of the world.
