      Johnny Mad Dog--Crazy Killings And Guns

      They are all children under the age of 16, and some are even less than 10 years old. They all embarked on this crazy road of no return after personally killing their father or other relatives. They have all used their guns to force other children to choose between life and death between themselves and their loved ones. They don't have uniforms; they can wear whatever they want. They can wear whatever they can. If their...

      wild africa

      1. As a citizen of the Celestial Dynasty who has been comfortable in a peaceful environment for so many years, the first impression when seeing such a film is that the African people are living in dire straits. Compared with that, we are indeed very happy.

      2. The victims of the war must be civilians, they must be innocent! The instigators of wars are often a few people who have ulterior motives for their own selfish interests or the interests of a small group. Many times, ordinary...

      unfortunate war

      A film with a documentary nature, it uses the screen to show the fighting experience of the child soldiers who hold AKs in war-torn areas in Africa, as well as the refugees who have been displaced to escape the war. There is not much emotional line in the whole film, some are just people's numb expressions and helplessness when burying the dead hastily.

      It should be said that the whole film always reveals a feeling of helplessness. It is difficult to imagine that morality and law can...

      brainwashed child soldier

      Many years ago, in the first few years of TV in China, CCTV once acted in the American sci-fi film "The Man from the Bottom of the Atlantic";

      at that time, there was an episode in the episode that I was very confused, and I still remember it: saying It was an alien couple who were soaking in the bathtub when they saw a 13- or 14-year-old child come in and greeted them, like a mouse seeing a cat and running away. The enemy is like an enemy;

      later, I knew the saying that the...

      The scariest thing in the world is ignorance.

      Although the film follows in the footsteps of "City of God", it still has its own bright spots. Maybe it's because I like this kind of film more, so I still give it 4 stars.
      There are three most impressive episodes:
      1 The scene of the infantry soldiers attacking the city, carrying stolen pigs, cassette recorders, and patrolling with machine guns and RPG rocket launchers taller than themselves. If we can completely abandon some so-called profound human thinking problems, I think This...

      The 61st Cannes Film Festival was shortlisted for a kind of concern and won the Hope Award. It truly recorded the social status quo in Africa. The documentary style is like a documentary, the simple performance of non-professional actors, but unfortunately the emotion and atmosphere of the picture are not enough, but the portrayal of Johnny is quite inadequate. Samsung and a...

    Evaluation action

    The African "boy scouts" reflected in " Blood Diamond ", " Hotel Rwanda ", " War Dance " and other films have appeared again, only this time they have become the real protagonists, and the director with a background in documentary work almost Made it into a documentary. When the children of high and low grades shot with Kalashnikov assault rifles and brutally killed people, we were shocked by the madness and unreasonableness of this...
