The movie does not involve too many emotions. The only affection rests on the little boy’s spiritual needs to find his mother, but there is no perfect ending in the movie. The only affection is thus deeply torn apart, and there is no hope of survival. Little boy, life is basically based on escape. He looked down on everything that happened around him. Living as if it didn’t make much sense to him. He began to become a bit tyrannical, desperate, cruel and insensitive, and life seemed to be too. Keep hitting it, making him feel desperate about everything around him. The director swayed the description of the cruel environment without any mercy, letting the cruelty go to the end, the tyrannical massacre, and the militia training that dehumanized humanity, making bloody become commonplace in the movie. The director's handling of details is simply a lot of effort. In every scene that embodies blood and violence, he tries to shock people's hearts and arouse the deepest fears in people's hearts. He allows us to experience the real world. It's terrible, and it will deepen this feeling into the bones. On the one hand, the film portrays the suffering and growth of the little boy. On the other hand, it interprets the beautification process of war. In the context of political conspiracy, war seems to be a tool for gaining profits. There is no dignity, no ideals, and no matter what. To maintain peace on one side, some only pursue greater interests, so as to beautify the war grandiosely. In the second half of the movie, the content of the character story has changed a lot. The little boy no longer believes in the brainwashing of the military chief played by Idris Elba, and begins to make a choice that truly belongs to him. He has learned how to survive in this world instead of being a pawn used by others. However, after arriving in a peaceful society, the little boy who has been tempered and baptized by war has never been able to integrate into a normal life. He closed himself up and endured alone the psychological trauma brought by the war from his heart. It was the war that made him lose. Family, it was the war that destroyed his original happiness, and it was the war that made him a soldier, so that he would never return to the innocence of his age.
As the only black star in this movie, Idris Elba gave his wonderful performance. The military leader played by him has a cunning and treacherous ability to brainwash others with words. On the same day, he was bloody and vicious. The appearance of a warmonger came out of the show, and in the movie, he fully unearthed the sinister nature of the character. On the one hand, he played the role of a father, and on the other hand, he played the role of a big liar. Until the end of the betrayal of his relatives, he still did not change his nature, and chose a path of perseverance.
As a representative of an anti-war film, director Kerry Fukunaga uses a surrealist approach to reproduce how weak children become war machines in a war environment. He has a profound grasp of various life changes. The detailed description fully demonstrates the director's control of this kind of war theme, and the director Kerry Fukunaga is good at digging out the deepest and darkest places in the work, looking at the places that others can't see, and using real power to shock people. The soul, and the story at the end, leaves people with a glimmer of hope. The moment the little protagonist rushes to the sea, the meaning of peace seems so heavy.
