MAN OF CINEMA
I can see how Sean Baker was really influenced by this film to make Anora,
there are so many similarities and character traits and the ending scene in both with a single tear. You can see the sadness and pain behind that ever smiling face of cabiria. A free spirited and joyful prostitute who's been let down by every single man she comes across, all she ever wanted was true love and someone to be with. Fellini beautifully uses the era of poverty, inequality after world war in Rome with the life of cabiria.
The film perfectly captures the fall of sickening hope again and again, and she still pushes forward with it. At the end when she says this line "There's some justice in the world. You suffer, you go through hell. Then happiness comes along or everyone.." i was feeling how naive and innocent she is, the world always fails you unless you stop expecting things from it, you can feel she will be heartbroken again at that moment, but after that where she walking with a one tear rolling down and still has that glowing smile on her face, you can feel that she has come to terms, after losing love,money,home everything all she has is her smile and seeking joy in life and she ain't gona lose that.
Fellini's film is bleak and full of heartbreak, but it is also uplifting and full of hope. I also loved the underlying humor in this film. also that magic scene was surreal to watch, at least there she found her oscar who truly loved her. I also loved the sequence where fellini shows three different classes of the society one who is living in a lavish mansion, then there are prostitutes on the road , then there are people living in caves, display a great inequality that exist in the society. Its brilliant film which shows how human happiness and sadness both depend on hope, and either way you will be disappointed for something that did not go in your way and life will always be cruel and biased.
