I enjoyed Cabiria a lot more than I thought I would. The stunts were all fun, the acting was humorously over the top, Machiste was a big man on the screen, and all around I can see that this movie had a huge impact on the movie making industry. However, the blackface, the jumpy plot, and the odd misogyny make it a rough watch in places. I think people should watch this movie, however make sure to add a grain of salt to your popcorn while you watch because it is a propaganda heavy movie.
