Juliet Masina, this little woman is amazing.

She's really not pretty, and she's not particularly elegant.

Even the expression is a bit funny, but there are a pair of big eyes that can talk.

Whenever you watch her performance, you will fall in love with this actor, she is so pure and charming.

If watching "The Great Road" will make people remember her, then watching "Nights of Cabiria" will make people fall in love with her.

Personally, I believe that Masina transcends the external restrictions on a person such as height, figure, face, etc. with her unique charm, and her existence makes people appreciate the diversity of beauty.

In "Nights of Kabylia", nothing is enough to stop this woman's yearning for innocence and love.

In the film, Juliet Masina plays Kabylia, an unattractive prostitute.

She's also naive, vulgar and vain, rhetorical, but with an invincible optimism.

In order to find love, she did not hesitate to drop money.

In her world, only love is the meaning of everything.

However, every time he is passionately invested, he is often deceived.

As soon as she appeared on the scene, she staged a tragedy for us. Her boyfriend who had known her for more than a month grabbed her wallet and pushed her down the river, almost drowning.

At first, she didn't want to believe that he pushed her. She was a little stupid, but she didn't want to deny the meaning of this love.

But this little injury was nothing to her. After a short period of sadness, she went out to solicit customers with great interest.

Although she is not beautiful enough, she is still very popular with people around her because she has a tireless energy.

For example, as soon as she was interested, she suddenly danced, and it was really funny to see how happy she was dancing.

By chance, she met an idol star.

The big star took her back to the mansion because of a quarrel with his girlfriend.

Originally, the atmosphere of eating delicious food and drinking champagne was very harmonious. Seeing that the beautiful thing was about to happen, the star's girlfriend came back.

After hiding in the toilet all night, she still didn't complain. Before leaving, she looked enviously at the woman who was sleeping on the bed.

Although she would vainly yell at two women who despised her when she got in the car of the big star, she didn't want to take the money the big star gave her when she left.

One night, while wandering on the road, Kabylia met another man who regularly provided items to the homeless.

This man appeared in her world like an angel, and then left her world just after a few words with her on a ride.

It seems that the appearance of this man is like telling us that life will experience some miracles and that anything can happen.

If there really is such a good-hearted and holy person, then, what else can't happen?

Therefore, our Kabylia will once again be sure to miraculously pounce on a new relationship.

Before meeting a new relationship, the bored Kabylia came to a performance hall.

She was invited on stage as a guest, hypnotized as a woman in a relationship.

Under the setting sun, she is dignified, elegant and pure, and gently squat down to pick flowers for her loved ones.

At this time, she incarnates into a gentle, innocent and lovely girl, she smiles shyly, and has pure and beautiful dreams...

You must know that she was also a girl who loved to dream.

At 18, she also has long black hair, very long.

Now life has changed her appearance, she has become marketable, sturdy, noisy, vain...

But because there is still optimism, she is still happy.

In this performance, unknown to Kabylia herself, she attracts a strange man.

After the performance, the man took the initiative to approach her, and then began a series of "heart-walking" pursuits.

Poor Kabylia was once again carried away by the so-called love.

In pursuit of love, she sold the house she used to be proud of as her dowry.

On the last night of leaving home, Kabylia wandered around the hut, reminiscing about the time she had spent with the hut. In the end, she still smiled and went to the unknown tomorrow.

Predictably, yet another downright deceit awaits Kabylia.

After being cheated out of all her money, the poor woman rolled on the ground in tears.

After experiencing deceit and disappointment again and again, we thought she could no longer bear the fantasy of a better life, but in the end she walked out of the woods with confusion and pain.

Walking with nothing on the road, a group of young people singing and dancing appeared. They were walking, singing and dancing, very happy.

Among them, there are several people around Kabylia, smiling, walking, and her face is smiling again.

Her smile is as always, as always, full of yearning for innocence and love.

Self-optimistic Kabylia is always as enthusiastic and innocent as a child, bravely and tirelessly believing in fantasies about love.

This never-ending love-chasing soul, with a heart that will never be polluted, once again bravely moves forward and conquers all the ugliness in the world.

All deceit, exploitation, ugliness and evil are defeated by this unyielding and innocent soul.

Even though life is full of disappointments, there are many traps, and there are many cruelties, there are always people who face it fearlessly and walk on with a smile.
