I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Really Surprised!

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

The acting in this movie is really good.

I don't think that guys from regions other than the middle east, would really appreciate the revolution this movie represents. A revolution on everything we have been taught as kids, and have taken for granted as it is " the ultimate truth " . A revolution on every certainty that turned out not to necessarily be a certainty.It's like u've always been watching Hollywood movies, and all of a sudden u find out about the European cinema with all the differences between the two in presenting the ideas,handling them and what not. This movie also provides,for those who are from other regions, a very cultural overview of the life style of most middle eastern families, on what basis they get married and how they treat their children, for the most part.

A liberal 10 year old girl faces the hardships of her own home country and religion throughout her journey in the movie. Her name is Wajda and she wears converse sneakers to school and barely wears her head gear and gets scolded by her teachers and mom, once in a while for it. One day she is being teased by a boy who she likes to hang out with and he rides a bike, and she promises to beat him in a race when she buys her own bike. However, it is not custom or ordinary to see women riding a bike...Wadjda is an independent girl at the young age of just 10 and i find it very fascinating how immature, but mature at the same time that she can be. When she is at school and sells wristbands and illegal things to make money to buy her bike that cost 800 riyals, the audience feels the strive and determination of a girl who is living under the limitations of religion and a misogynist society. Moreover, Wajda helps a classmate talk to a boy for the payment of 20 riyals and also charges the boy she delivers the note to 20 riyals and gets obtains money in whatever way that she can. Meanwhile, her house structure seems pretty calm and comfortable, with a nice kitchen, living room and even a video game system that is definitely not allowed in the customs of the country. Let alone women cannot wear nail polish, bracelets, and or unveil their hair in public. However, her father and mother are never home and when she sees her father bring home his family tree, that hangs up on the wall, that does not include his daughters name. It only includes the names of the male heirs in the family which foreshadows the departure of her father from her mother to go have another wife to produce an male heir for him. It is sad that this happens to Wajda's mother who did everything to appease him and respect her religion, but in the end it is very nice to see that she changes and tells Wajda that she can do whatever she wants and be whatever she wants and not let anybody change her.

Wadja is a very interesting film that really opens the world up to Saudi Arabia on gender roles. Due to Culture and religion, as well as the Taliban, Saudi Arabia faced Sharia Law, which caused all of the gender inequality issues there is today. Wadja focuses on a young girl who is still in grade school and pursues a certain bike she has had her eye on even since she first sees it. She does everything she can to earn enough money for the bike and even gets the store clerk to hold the bike for her in his shop. Throughout the entire storyline, there were the never-ending hints at all of the gender inequality. A few I can think of right now are the differences between life at home and life outside of the home between the mother and the daughter. First of all, when Wadja and her mother are by themselves at home they are happy, and they are who they truly are and express themselves that way, but as soon as they step outside of the front doors to the house it all changes. Wadja is young and more of a courageous rebel, but her mother puts the veil on and applies herself to every other expected gender role in Saudi Arabia's society. Lastly, before or after watching this film, I recommend doing research on how the director had to complete this film when it came to directing and everything else while in Saudi Arabia.

There is no way to overstate how a simple story, taken out of life - the life of a Saudi girl - can be so inspiring. There are so many small heroes in this film, along with the more distasteful elements of any society. You can't forget little Wadjda who has no innate reverence for silly rules, almost naïvely turning the overbearing form of Saudi Islam on itself, her mother, as much a victim of life as any other, eventually growing out of her own distress and taking a step to giving her daughter the liberty she never had, the shop-keeper, who tacitly roots for little Wdjda, and of course, Wadjda's little pal, who, born to be an alpha in Saudi society, glows with joy to see his friend - one he cares for - break a little bit freer, teaching her to ride a bike. He himself has no innate need to be the alpha, and is just happy for her. All these people together deal a small blow to the ills of their society, which are indirectly ridiculed, through the hypocrisy and self-interest of their servants. And when this movie is done, you'll know how a bike could be a symbol! Enjoy!
