editor set the background of the plot in the chaotic state of the civil war. In East Africa, a group of journalists set foot here in order to photograph the legendary 25-footed big crocodile. Hidden in the vast African grasslands and unique natural landscapes, there is a danger that is getting closer and closer: the ferocious big crocodile, and Crocodiles are more insidious human beings. Just like the local residents said: Between the two, you don’t know who is
colder . After watching a lot of Hollywood horror movies, the big crocodile that runs faster than people in Primeval can’t It is shocking, and what really shocks the heart is the ferocity of mankind. When innocent African people die under the sword of a hostile element, when the numerous bones in the mass graves of the film emerge, the kind of despair and fear far exceeds the unknown. The fear that nature can bring to humans.
The two most brilliant characters in the film are Steven and Jojo. The former is an African-American photographer from the United States to Africa, and the latter is a native African child. The former is himself. He is proud of his American nationality, and the latter has infinite yearning for the United States and hopes to leave Africa and go to the United States. In the chaotic Africa, Steven can't help cursing: I am really grateful for black slavery, at least it has allowed me to leave Africa. And with this Echoing it was Jojo's appalling application when he saw his fellow tribe. When an originally inhumane system became the object of gratitude for the weak, this black humor became more and more pervasive with sadness.
At the end of the film, Steven died. In Africa, the film did not explain the cause of death. Perhaps it was due to death under the claws of a crocodile or under the gun of a bandit. As a descendant of the victims of early slavery, the screenwriter arranged for him an ending that is similar to the irony. ; And Jojo survived the disaster, followed the journalists and boarded the plane to the United States. When the skinny Jojo hugged the puppy and muttered to himself, looking out the African land where he grew up from the plane window, that kind of relief after relief The joy is overwhelming, and it is even more sad. We no longer need to discuss the content of his whispers, his look tells everything.
The hard subtitles at the end of the film tell us: The civil war in Africa has finally stopped, and the people can enjoy a peaceful and happy life, and the big crocodiles are still raging along the river and slaughtering the residents. However, compared with the trauma caused by the war, this can only be horrible. The flying crocodile is really no longer important. What can be more dangerous than the human heart? What can be more cherished than a peaceful life.
