Wadjda dvdrip movie. Share this: Twitter Facebook. Like this: Like Loading Follow Following. Usage Attribution-Noncommercial 3. It tells the story of this ten-year-old schoolgirl Like one of the great Italian neorealist films, it centres on a child and a bicycle.
All Wadjda wants is a bike so she can race against the little boy who lives next door, but her mother Reem Abdullah refuses to buy her one: in Saudi Arabia, little girls do not ride bicycles. After careful consideration of the matter Wadjda cannot see the logic in this, so she takes matters into her own hands and decides to raise the money for a bicycle herself. Modest as it may look, this is boundary- pushing cinema in all the best ways, and what a thrill it is to hear those boundaries creak.
I really enjoyed Wadjda. In many aspects, it reminded me of the Iranian film Children of Heaven It seems to portray a good look at life in Saudi Arabia. The acting was really good and it made me enjoy the film more because I ended up rooting for Wadjda. Some moments will feel tender, some will be really cringe-worthy and some will feel real. It is probably the strength of the movie that the viewer will go through such a range of emotions.
It also shows things that will feel strange to foreign eyes without ever seeming judgmental or preachy. The fact that it was a female director made me even more curious as women rights in Saudi Arabia are known to be a controversial issue and is mostly what the outside world is exposed to about Saudi Arabia. Nevertheless, Wadjda starts saving up her money to buy one.
The nearest shop owner has one and after some discussion she manages to have him keep it for her until she gathers the money. In exchange, he lets her ride his bicycle. When her school launches a Quran reciting contest, Wadjda works hard to win the prize money which would allow her to finally buy the bicycle.
