Bottom of Fellini's Lens

I have seen "Night of Cabiria", although it is Fellini's famous work, but I don't like it. I am used to seeing vulgar Hollywood, and the feelings of European intellectuals are not easy to bear for a while. It is also in 1957. Chi Keke's "Vertigo" is already a color film, and the photography is tall, while "Cabylia Nights" is still black and white, and the dim colors add to the depression and desolation of the suburbs of Rome. This time is post-war, Europe It took more than ten years to rebuild, but even so, Rome, the big city in Italy, was still in ruins, which inadvertently implied the devastating destruction of human material civilization by war, and the American city at this time can be seen in Vertigo The construction is quite good, the houses are lined up and the streets are hygienic and orderly, just like a city with a fairly complete material civilization.
"Nights of Cabiria" tells a story of being insulted and damaged in a clown-like way of exaggeration. Having seen the Italian middle class through Antonioni's lens, Fellini brutally presented the poverty and anguish at the bottom of Italy.
Kabylia, an orphan who turned into a prostitute, is full of yearning for love and a happy life. All the men she associates with are coveting her income from selling herself, never treating her as a human being, and even pushing her for money. Down the river, Kabylia nearly drowned. It is such a woman at the lowest level, yet she is constantly subjected to all kinds of humiliation by men. Of course, her tragedy is also caused by her flawed character, which is simple and gullible. Is there no responsibility in society and the great progress of the society? The man of the flag is not responsible. The last man defrauded Kabylia of all her savings. Along with the bankrupt economy, she also collapsed with all her expectations and confidence in love and a happy life.
There are too many men who play with women in this world. Their greatness is that they can always justify themselves and get rid of moral dilemmas.
I still have to think of a novel "Red Wine" that I read in October when I was in school. The civil servant male protagonist is a clerk who knows him on a blind date. At the age of 30, he still shares a house with others. In the city, he is a proletariat with nothing. The Lord actually despised her in his heart. Sure enough, he dumped her after sleeping for a few nights. It's her own fault. It is naturally full of danger to rely on a man to change her life. Together, it is the importance of the right match.
Some men are a piece of shit!
