The hardships of life happened not only to Kabylia, but also to her close friend, the man in the cave. I don't know whether the Italian society at that time was so dark or what the director wanted to express. This is human nature. I think it has both. For the religion in it, people who are truly sincere have no luck. It can be seen that God does not distinguish between right and wrong, full of irony However, people still believe in religion so much, and the piety of the pastor shows that religion or God can never bring anything, but only bring people a kind of hope, a kind of courage to live in this world. Fellini's view of religion is to ridicule and play with religion, to debunk its mystery and solemnity, so that people can see the real relationship between religion and people in essence, that is, I know you are fake, you are just created by people. There is something that exists, but under the surface of this suffering life, it needs your support to support the wandering and painful soul.
