One of Fellini's "Solitary Trilogy". It is my favorite movie of his so far. The heroine of this film, Masina, is the little girl on the road. Unlike the road, there is no scene in Kabylia night where you kneel down and repent, only a lonely and pure card. Villa was hurt by three men at once. This fragile girl was intoxicated and woken up again and again in a happy dream. This kind of movie that shatters other people's dreams is really cruel.

She is naive and kind. After being pushed into the water by her boyfriend, she thought she had stumbled and fell. She was deceived so many times and still chose to believe in others. As a result, she was deceived again and was almost pushed off a cliff.

However, it is precisely because of her innocence that she can recover from repeated blows and continue to look forward to love and tomorrow.

Kabylia's life is an adventure, reborn in countless hopes and crushed countless times. The upper class treats her as a pastime, and the lower class treats her as a joke. Each of her tragedies is comical, but after laughing, she will feel a burst of sadness. Although Kabylia appears to be a noisy and carefree woman, she still has some delicate emotions and a desire for love in her heart. She just longs for a beautiful and happy life, but life is not always what she wants.

I thought that at the end of the film, Kabylia might become numb and despair, recognize the reality and go back to being a street girl, but she didn't. At the end of the film, the band playing beautiful music and alone from the edge of the cliff When Kabylia came back, they met, and the smiling people made Kabylia even more desperate, like a walking dead. But after a while, Kabylia turned her head slightly to look at them and smiled, and that smile was as happy as ever.

She has become the former Kabylia again, who can't be beaten to death or crushed. Life can't break her down. She is always innocent, always kind, and always loves to dream.

One of Fellini's "lonely Trilogy". It is my favorite movie now. The heroine of this film, Masina, is that little girl in LA STRADA. Different from LA STRADA, there is no scene of leaving or dying and kneeling to repent in The night of Cabiria. Only the lonely and naive Cabiria is hurt by three different men. This weak girl is intoxicated and awakened again and again in her lovely dream, which breaks others dream's movies are really cruel. She is naive and kind. After being pushed into the water by her ex-boyfriend, she thought it was her fault , she fell down. After being cheated so many times, she still chose to trust people. As a result, she was cheated again and almost pushed off the cliff .

However, it is because of her innocence that she can recover from repeated attacks and continue to look forward to love and future.

Cabiria's life is an adventure. She was reborn in countless hopes and was crushed by countless times. The upper class regarded her as a funny tool, while the lower class regarded her as a joke. Her tragedies are comedic in color, but after we laugh , I will feel a burst of heartache. Although Cabiria appears to be a noisy, careless woman, there are still some delicate emotions and longing for love in her heart. She just wanted for a happy life, she want to have some change but life was always not as good as she wanted.

I thought that at the end of the film she will become numb and hopeless, and finally understand the true and go bak to be a prostitute again, but she didn't. In the last scene of the movie, a band with lovely music met Cabiria – who had walk back from the cliff alone. People with smile set off Cabiria's hopeless, like a walking dead body. But after a while, Cabiria looked slightly sideways at them and laughed, as happy as ever.

She had become the former Cabiria, who can't be beaten to death, crushed and broken. She is pure forever. forever kind and dreamy.
