All Ends Well That Ends With a Smile13 of 22
The bittersweet last shot shows Cecilia, as one of these poor souls, not heroic in their acts, but in their faith in people, despite the encountered treacheries and deceptions. The ending reminds of "Night of Cabiria", Fellini's masterpiece about another woman's heart victim of her own goodness. And despite all the hell Cecilia went through, her illuminated eyes prove that with movies, she'll always have her back-and-forth ticket for Heaven.
