I felt when she was at the station, she should have gone to the fortune machine and pulled another fortune and it should have said, "Your future is bright." Then, Quinn's character should have come in and started the begging process. What do you think?

shareThe ending was perfect for such an awkward movie because both characters were strong-minded individuals who wanted things their own way. The fortune machine would have been a little too cutesy and took away from Magnani and Quinn's performance during their reconciliation at the airport. I loved how Quinn was positioned with his back to camera looking away from Magnani and the awkward, that word again, way they both admitted to their mistakes and to at least try to do better again. That's all anyone can do in a relationship is try and that little bit is what elevated the movie in my estimation.
Solid movie.
'Cause I'm Black you think I did it?
I felt that she should have just left him, knowing that she didn't need anyone to make herself happy; that she could do make it on her own, a strong wild woman - untamable. Whether she left to Italy or stayed in America would, I think, given a stronger message. I just think that if the title of the movie is Wild is the Wind, that she needs to remain wild on her own. Going with Gino is almost a concession. She is too strong to be made into a sheep but then she'd still just be a caged horse.
shareI think she honestly meant what she said, "All I need is for someone to love me." Now that Quinn has made it clear in his own awkward way that he does love her I think the marriage stands a good chance of working. Sure, she's a strong, wild woman but Quinn's character has steel in him too. He's capable of taming her and she's willing to be tamed by a man that truly loves her.
