Beast Without Borders
Kaela 2021-12-17 08:01:08
"Beasts without Borders" is a war story set in Africa, and the protagonist of the story is a young boy who was devastated by war and grew up and changed in the war. Forced to become a warrior like a beast, from a victim to a part of the crimes of war, these experiences are destined to become scars that will never heal and remain in the heart of the child, and become the pain that accompanies his life. Perspective works often better reflect the cruelty and extinction of humanity in war. They have bizarre artistry and shock, just like "Borderless City" and "War Wizard", but their artistry and plot characterization are still lacking. It hasn't achieved the wonderful and shocking effect, you can take a look.

Tell the cruel civil war on the African continent from the perspective of a Scout, where civilians are trained to become bloodthirsty beasts. The hand-held lens brings the realism of the documentary, but the follow-up of the script is weak, and only the protagonist finally shines. After experiencing everything, the child still hopes to find his childhood: Fukuyong did not forget to put in hope when he opened the war box.

And you will wake up and you will rise and see the sun rise and see the sun set, and you can just wait all day ALL DAY with thousands of men just like you, waiting for somebody to give you a job.
