The moments when Cabiria touched me:
After being robbed by Xiaobailian and pushed into the river, the rest of his life suddenly thought of "what if I die"? The next second, pull out your chicken from the tank under the window, hold it in your arms, and stroke its fur back and forth like a cat;
When soliciting customers on the street, the competitor "Champagne Lady" was indifferent to all kinds of provocations, until he poked the sore spot where he was deceived by the little white face, and then "I'm going to slap your face into pieces";
Dance with a movie star, cut to the mambo of the single person;
During an outdoor picnic, clapping the back of the hands and shouting against the wind "our life hasn't changed at all, no one";
After being hypnotized in the theater, tell your fantasy lover Oscar "If only you knew me when I was 18, when I had long black hair, so long", softly asked "Do you really love me?" ?".
The magician also moved with compassion and couldn't help awakening her from the illusion.
The second time I was deceived, I lost everything, I had nothing, I got up in the mud and weeds, walked among the young people who were revelling in the midnight, singing happy songs, and my life went on.
Oscar's blackening is marked by the toothpick he made and the sunglasses he put on.
There is no poisonous chicken soup that sparrows turn into phoenixes, this diminutive and unassuming prostitute tells us: candles will go out, life will be worse, or live as pure and hot as weeds.
Finally, Bazin: "The protagonist in Fellini's films does not reach a final crisis (either to his destruction or his salvation) through a dramatic and gradual progression, but through the course of his life that produces certain certainties for him. The accumulation of the various events of influence (like the energy of the vibrating soup accumulating in the resonance body) reaches the final crisis."
