Wadjda should have kept her mouth shut


She should not have mentioned the bike when she won.

I thought she'd had enough of people telling her to keep her mouth shut.

reply

Of course she should't, the whole reason for entering the competition was for the prize money. Wadjda did like to speak her mind.

Saudi Arabia or not, if you win some money by doing something you don't really believe in, just smile and keep your mouth shut :-) Then again I do get it that speaking her mind was in character for her so made sense within the film-world.

If she kept her mouth shut, it would have been a shorter movie.

I think this was a great example of a child being naïve and not understanding consequences. I'm sure Wadjda learned from this experience and may be a little more cautious in the future.
