At the beginning, it was difficult to empathize with Kabylia. The cursing village girl had no gratitude when she fell into the water and was rescued. It seemed that her spine was not straight, her stern eyebrows were fierce, and she was stumbling in her walking posture. There is a little charm to the petite body when wearing a corset.
A prostitute who has nothing to do with elegance, but can be so cute and cute in front of the big star she likes, and she becomes gentle and self-controlled in the face of her suitors. Love can really change a person's character and turn a shrew into a lady.
Kabylia just wanted to be loved, to know that she was loved. Therefore, when Oscar is courting himself, he will have a strong but subtle expression but cannot hide his excitement, and he will still go to the appointment on time without expressing acceptance. She is like thousands of little girls, how wonderful it feels to be loved and cared for.
The stand-up comedian Daniel Sloss once talked about a jigsaw theory. Each of us spends our lives putting together a puzzle without a schematic diagram. Family/friends/career/hobbies occupy the four corners of the puzzle, and there is a huge hole in the middle. It is our life partner. So, when we meet someone who is good to us, we can't help but want to put him/her in our puzzle, we desperately want to be whole, to be loved and needed. Before we learn to love ourselves, we rush to hire another person to do it for us.
Kabylia lacks love, so she will be so desperate when another person opens the embrace of "love" to her. The point is not this person, but the warmth that another individual can give moved Kabylia. Even if it wasn't Oscar, if any man did a little trick, she would be willing to fly into the flames. The so-called blindness because of love is just another expression of fear of being alone.
At the end she picked up the flowers and returned to life in despair. Will she fall into another "love" scam again, I think she will, just because she still has hope.
