The child soldiers in the chaos of the war, at an age that should have been carefree, took up guns and witnessed the ugliness of human nature. However, as Agu said at the end, those of us who have not experienced war would not understand what he saw and heard. We are more like innocent children, and they are more like old people who have experienced vicissitudes of life. As far as the movie itself is concerned, the first half of the rhythm and plot are great, but it does not reflect Agu’s animality, but emphasizes that he is still a child, a borderless beast, and there is no animalistic contrast. In the end, Agu’s return to innocence is weakened. A lot. After the guerrilla captain met with the chief, the entire rhythm was disrupted, and the political conspiracy was out of Agu’s perspective. It was inexplicable: who killed 2IC? Who attacked their camp? In the end, who are they fighting until they run out of ammunition and food? Indiscriminate use of white space will only create obstacles for the audience to watch the movie. The ending seems a bit procrastinated, but Agu’s monologue is very good and his acting skills are great.
