notti di Cabiria

What Caribia will be doing when she gets on years? Will she be sending happy married life or killed by some guy after cheated out of her money? Well, these things surely are not the matter at all in her life.           

Cabiria has narrow escape from death twice in this film. But　she showed charming smile at the end of film inspite of losing everything. Her smile means that her new life will start at that time.  

The inner side of person should be strong more than appearances, especially after losing everything. This sense of optimism might be similar to the wisdom of Buddhism and Fellini wants the viewer to take with him/her as he/she is leaving the theater.  He also wants to convey one simple, eassy-to-grip but so essential message: "Please, don't give up".                            

What the meaning of life, and happiness?  Money and/or houses are of no importance in one's life. However, I do not have confidence to attain such the state of selflessness...smile.....           

The ability of her extraordinary quick recovery reminds me a mutant shown in the recent film of x-men. This beautiful movie was made in 1957... That my birth year....                                                                                                          We will never seen such an amazing finale in other movie. This is a must-see film, and, most important of all.
