La Strada--A Lover Who Does Not Understand Love

Demario 2022-06-09 12:50:48

It was a beautiful world where everyone was yet to be malevolent to their core. It was a gloomy story, where a crystal eye didn't have a clue of her peerless beauty, or how this world swirled and twirled. Everyone seemed fairly cordial, yet not kind enough. The dummy laugher appeared better, but heaven knows what it could be like to stay with him. The grumpy and coarse chain-breaker got blood on his hand, but he just scrambled for an unprofitable living.

He knew this wasn't the end, and he may have just faced those broken pieces inside him for the first time in his life. If only he could see how his newly acquired hooker looked at her, if only he could hear the nun say, "You follow your husband, I follow myself," and respond, "We are all following someone," if only he could be vicarious of her conversation with the "dummy." If only that pig iron chain wasn't the only thing that owned his originality. Giulietta, you have the most beautiful eyes in the world.

    Fellini’s is much more beautiful than eight and a half, and the optimism and innocence of the silly girl moved me and broke my heart. Some dogs can only bark when they want to say something.

    "You almost forgot me" "I didn't, I just put you in a deeper place" "Where is the deeper place" "It's the edge of forgetting, but it will never be forgotten, this is the deepest place."

La Strada quotes

  • Gelsomina's Mother: Gelsomina, Zampanò's a good man. He'll treat you well. You'll travel the world. You'll sing and dance. And look what he gave me: 10,000 lire! I have it here, 10,000 lire! We can fix the roof and these poor things can eat. Why did your father ever leave us?

  • Zampanò: Come here. There should be something here to fit you. I want you to look elegant. I don't want to see you in rags. My women have always looked smart.
