Kabylia, who was deceived with nothing, burst into a smile in the joy of the child, but in my heart, I looped "Nothing" for the single, "I'm walking on the ground under my feet, and the water around me is flowing... Tell you that I waited. Long time, tell you my last request...". Walking back to the road from the edge of the cliff, walking back to the world where repentance is needed from the innocent gaze of death, and finding the courage to take the initiative to embrace from the abandoned identity, Kabylia has experienced too much.

There are all kinds of people in the movie. I always want to believe that there must be such a person in the world. Either believe in extreme evil or good, or escape in struggle and confusion, or be numb and indifferent by boring days. Selfishness, or being consistent and never accepting a little change, there are so many people in the world, there will always be one or two lonely people who can find resonance in the movie, and there will always be one or two miracles that are part of this colorful world outside the Chinese brain.

And a girl like Kabylia, oh no, she is actually a middle-aged woman, but even an ordinary fifteen-year-old girl still has her pure and beautiful soul. Although she wears her favorite clothes and fights with other women on the street mercilessly, although she stands or walks with her legs crossed, even though she talks loudly, the yearning for love stays put In fairy tale yearning.

The crystal slipper in the fairy tale, the dream castle with a garden in the illustration, the fountain spitting rainbows in the sun all the time, all of which are not as good as yours, who is shy and shy. Every movement of yours does not need prompts or hints, every tone of yours is a drop of emotion flowing from the bottom of your heart, when you smell the first scent of flowers, your hand has naturally fallen into his palm , and then danced in a sea of ​​flowers. At this time, the happiest thing is to be hit by the two-way foil thrown out by Da Liu, flying forever under Van Gogh's starry sky.

We grew up slowly, knowing what happened after the prince and princess lived happily together, and that laughter is especially precious because of more tears in love. But Kabylia is like a princess in armor, rejecting all the reality that tempts her to doubt her love. The most beautiful scene in the whole film is that when Kabylia is hypnotized, the fierce force forced by life will fall asleep quietly after closing her eyes, and the fantasy in her heart will slowly wake up. At that time, she was just a girl immersed in love. Like all girls in love, she asked each other over and over again, "Do you really love me?" The old magician deeply felt the sin of fooling such a pure soul, but still enjoyed the sense of victory brought by the success of the performance. The men in the audience mocked a middle-aged woman who was still trying to expect love, and some men saw this and deceived everything about Kabylia.

After the princess cut thorns and slaughtered dragons and demons, she found that the terminal was just a wasteland, but she found a small flower blooming in the wasteland, so she wiped away her blood and dried her tears, smiled and smiled without saying a word.

However, in addition to her yearning for love, Kabylia's character is not only outspoken and straightforward, but more vulgar and stupid for many years, sometimes wanting to pull her but not knowing her where is the hand. The film made her meet two liar lovers, a magician, and an actor, but all four of them wanted to use her to get through the current difficulties. Kabylia, who is easy to believe in others, is like her purse, she always puts all her belongings in it, and she always takes out all her heart and wants to give it to the other party, but she didn't expect that the other party only loves the smell of copper. Love meaty.

The actress who plays the heroine has a very lively expression, she is hesitant to say anything in love, and she is infected by a strong religious atmosphere when she visits the shrine of the Notre Dame, etc. It is very vivid. Such a vivid performance that expresses the mentality of the daughter's family is only in the show. Seen in Betty Davis's "The Blue Girl". It's a pity that one of the characters in the two movies is repeatedly deceived and the other is crazy. A fragile soul encounters a body that cannot protect itself, and there are always more thorns than flowers in a kaleidoscopic world.

However, it is impossible to say no to such a pure and innocent soul. It is not that you are not good enough, but that the world is too bad, and the world is too clean.
