In fact, in the end, she shouldn't have laughed. Watching this movie, my attitude towards Cabiria changed a few times. At first, her disrespectful attitude towards the farmers made my impression of her greatly diminished. Later, she treated her friend Wanda rudely and regarded other people's concerns as interruptions, which made me think she was a heartless person. When I see her vainly sitting in the car of the big star, showing off to the prostitutes on the street, I can't wait to give this movie two stars. What are you doing? Could it be that being immersed in one's own lust is a symbol of pure innocence? But later, when I saw Kabylia hugging Wanda deeply outside the bus, I was moved by the kindness of a kind person, and I saw her change from having no faith to being devout, just because she finally got happiness, I The power of this woman, this film, can no longer be underestimated. I finally know why it is a masterpiece of realism, because Cabiria is the true portrayal of the man in Wilde's famous line: "We all live in the gutter, but there is always someone who is still looking up at the stars."
Such people are simple-minded, simple-minded, illiterate, and self-righteous in some respects. They always find fun in their unhappy lives and think they are better than most people. When deceived, their first reaction is not anger, but disbelief, because in their eyes, it is impossible for someone to bully a kind person, an honest person. They will experience short-term sadness, decadence, and then forget everything when others re-release kindness. Their lives are full of humiliation, but not enough to make them doubt life. In their blood are not only the seeds of strong optimism buried, but also rooted in unspeakable masochistic tendencies. When they are tormented, they even develop a sacrificial nobility and give up everything they have in contentment. This kind of person, I have seen a lot in Dostoevsky's novels, and this kind of person is the most heartbreaking and most helpless. They have a knife-like mouth and a tofu heart. They are more emotional than anyone else, but they are more deceptive than anyone else. If you give her a little sweetness, she can give her life for you. Can such a person, in such a society full of traps, be remembered as a kind and good person? No, they will only be forgotten in the endless harm, because the bad people know that it takes no effort to pinch her to death.
I thank Fellini for such a candid film, but I also hate how the story ends. In my opinion, Kabylia's smile doesn't mean that optimism can conquer everything, it just shows me that her life is still bleak in the future, because a fool who can't learn from hurt, no matter how innocent and innocent, It will only be embarrassing and will not win respect. I agree with the saying that movies are higher than reality, because I hope that in life, we will not become a kind person who is helpless, but after we can protect ourselves, we will keep the "fifteen-year-old" in our hearts. sweet dreams". Kabylia touched us, so let her live in the movie forever, let her wake up our long-sleeping sincerity, and then stop disturbing.
