One sometimes feels that the human soul is the most fragile substance on Earth, that it has to be protected, as one wrong move and it is destroyed.
And then you encounted Cabiria and Gelsomina (La Strada), and Antonio Ricci (Bicycle Thief) - and you see the delicate souls survive being thrown into meat grinder, where just about everything else has already been destroyed, and you realize the "delicate" soul might indeed be the iron hard core, something that is bound to remain when everything else is long gone.
Is it not ironic that it fell onto the tiny shoulders of Cabiria to be the carrier of eternal hope?
