buy a bike for my daughter

I live in a villa on the outskirts of Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia. Yes, the one with the beautiful sea blue door and the rooftop that can be biked. My husband is a famously handsome guy, he's rich, and his friend loves my pilaf, he's proud of it, but he hasn't been home for weeks. I have a 12-year-old daughter, and no one can stop the kids from locking the door at that age, but she's obedient and good at math, God bless.

"Waganda": The Place of the Girl

(Written by Zhi Ning on June 2, 2014)
    The Saudi film "Wadjda" is a seemingly mild but powerful film. The overall narrative style is warm and soothing with a touch of sadness. Its theme It directly refers to the reality that women are restricted, bound, and controlled by religion, clan rules, and conventions in modern Saudi society. Although the theme seems to be exciting and sharp, its expression is restrained and forbear, full of humanistic concern. Emotions and the euphemisms of...

Waganda - Your name is Brave

I remember that the father of the male protagonist in "First Love" once said to him that what you want, go and get it yourself. Although the focus of the novel is not here, but this sentence is extremely profound. If you can decide for yourself what you want, then the outcome and whether you can get it are all up to you. In this world, you often can’t help yourself. The outside world has its own reasons to interfere and obstruct. Efforts are thus turned into smoke clouds. Those few who agree...

shadow in the sun

Wajda, a girl from Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabia means the desert of happiness in Arabic. In this desert, men wear white robes and women wear black robes. They are as distinct as the sun and shadows, but they are interdependent. It's just that the more intense and bright the sun is, the darker and darker the shadows will be, and shadows are not qualified to have color.

Just as shadows can only be attached to sunlight, women in Saudi Arabia are nothing but men's attachments....

There is never a savior

great! The lines look the same as "Little Shoes", but the theme is different, "Waganda" celebrates the courage to challenge traditional conservative thinking.
Waganda as the protagonist is of course a typical example of resistance, and the pair of Lala classmates in the school, Aunt Laila who works in the hospital, Abdul who praised Waganda for buying a bicycle, and the shop owner are also challenging conservatives. Thought. When the father decided to marry a second wife in order to add...

Despite hearing a lot of gossip about Saudi Arabia or the Arab world, none of it conveys as much information as a feature film by a Saudi female director. The girl Waganda is too cute, and her cuteness is very different in the stereotyped...

There's not much to say about the plot, and so is the way of filming. But the meaning behind this film is obviously bigger than the film itself. worth...

Generally, children's films are not complicated, just a little girl who is a little strange wants to buy a bicycle. But the culture promoted by Arab countries not only discriminates against women but also degrades women themselves. At the end, watching Wajda ride his beloved bicycle on the streets, I hope this "incredible" move can bring a glimmer of hope to the gender equality movement in Islamic...
