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?

Or is it the alter ego from directors, are the players just the " cattles " in the show?
Can actors be more than just the " image " as we are to God?
I mean beyond that, every man ( or most ) have the capacity to feel so does actors..too, into their influated egos.
But are not the directors the one we have to look up, and the actors just as the " interpreters " with more or less skills?
The Fellini´s and consort, they have THE VISION "Cabiria is a very stong woman, I read somewhere on the cover of this DVD that she is naive..
But she is NOT.
