Kabylia night

As soon as the film opens, the heroine is abandoned by her so-called boyfriend. For the money in the handbag, the man pushed Kabylia into the river without caring about her life. I was very outraged to see this, and I thought that the story would revolve around it later. For example, who is this man, how did he get to know the heroine, where did he go after stealing money, and was he caught or punished in the end?

However it didn't. With the help of the heroine's lovelorn state and plot, the film slowly unfolds to describe the heroine's character, living conditions, circle of friends and daily life. To be honest, I really didn't get the professional information of the heroine from the film at first. I always thought that her low self-esteem and being despised came from her poverty. Only later did Baidu find out that the heroine was a prostitute. With such an identity setting, it is not difficult to understand the attitude of the people around her, including her own, towards herself.

In the part of encountering big stars, I thought Kabylia would have an affair. The reality is too cruel, it is impossible for a big star to be tempted by her. In order not to misunderstand his girlfriend, he locked Kabylia in the bathroom all night. Kabylia leaves the room with a heart-wrenching stare at his girlfriend. The same women or the same people, why are the two of them so different? There is no fairness in this world.

Kabylia was forced to become a prostitute because of her background, it was not her choice, but it had to be accepted. After experiencing the hardships of life and the contempt of others, she still has not extinguished her inner dream for a better life. How she wished to change her destiny and change the status quo. Don't stay in this hopeless place, and stop doing this hopeless career. So she chose to believe in men again and again and in the love of others for her. I also hope that these men can ignore her past, truly love her, and take her out of despair. But this world is too real! The third man I met looked elegant, handsome and even had a good career. Kabylia dubiously, or rather, struggled to convince himself to believe in him, and surrendered his sincerity. She even sold the house she had worked so hard for, and was going to marry a man with all the money! The man still let her down. His caring care and sweet words for so many days were just for the money in her hands. The man originally thought about killing people for money, but finally released Kabylia in a panic, but took all her money!

At this moment, Kabylia must be desperate, and as an off-screen I am also desperate. There have been incidents of emotional deception one after another, and Kabylia is afraid that she will never be able to trust others in her life, even if she encounters true love.

When I watched the movie Dalu, I didn't feel much, but this movie suddenly made me feel the cuteness of the female lead! I really like her slightly exaggerated expression and action design, and I really like her big eyes and crooked smile. Every time I see the heroine swearing exaggeratedly or proudly raising her chest, I feel the strong contrast and cuteness, it's so cute!

  • Maria 'Cabiria' Ceccarelli: [in Italian]

    [to Alberto]

    Maria 'Cabiria' Ceccarelli: There's another girl, my friend Wanda, she lives there too, but I don't bother with the others. The others all sleep under the arches in Caracalla. Mind you, I have my own house with water, electricity, bottled gas, I've got everything, even a thermometer. See this one here? She never ever slept under an arch. Well, maybe once... or twice. Of course, my house is nothing like this. But I like it.
