"Young Africa" originates from the real world + authentic actors = a work that
makes people feel deep
Mwanza is an amateur actor he found in Kinshasa.
The film has previously won Best Actress and Best Feature Film at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York, the Silver Bear for Best Actress at the Berlin Film Festival and the Special Jury Prize. He was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the 85th Academy Awards on behalf of Canada.
After watching this film, you will feel that it really lives up to its name!
"Battlefield Wizard"
is different from the violent activities of African anti-government organizations that always show the bloody and terrifying side of American TV series. Canadian director Kim Nguyen shows us the real side!
In the violent anti-government group of the LTTE, there are also sophistication and ideal love, but their expression is different from the mainstream world view!
Please see:
"The 'Magician' proposed to me, and I remembered what my father said before his death: 'Ask him for a white-feathered chicken, because white-feathered chickens are the rarest in this country.'" In fact, the heroine's suitor---the patient The "magic" with albinism is the white-feathered chicken.
When a female field wizard in love (she has a unique gift of seeing the souls of the dead, which enables her to spot government troops in the jungle, and is given the title of wizard) and sorcerer (a title like this among African warriors is really A lot) Taking advantage of the gap between the battles, the scene after escaping from the organization immediately pulls the audience back to reality in Africa!
There is the joy of teenagers, the joy of albinism, and even the joy of a magician who uses the trick of "touching porcelain" to get a few dollars from a European (the country's common dollar, which is hard currency)!
However, the joy is always short-lived, and the African land is always full of fierceness. Soon after, the organization still found the two and killed her new husband in front of the wizard!
There are also Chinese elements in the film, that is, the stronghold occupied by the leader of the organization, the pavilions, the pavilions and the carved beams and fences, how can I feel that they are elements of Chinese culture! Could it be a friendly project by Hangxiao Steel Structure? (Ha ha ha! Think of the company's Angola super order in 2007)
Why did the rebels in the Democratic Republic of the Congo use teenagers as soldiers in the army?
Let’s take a look at history:
Reasons:
1. The civil war since 1998 became the most deadly war since World War II, resulting in the fall of 4 million people. With malnutrition, the average life expectancy was only 41.8 years;
2. In 2000, the school-age children’s school enrollment rate 3. Due to the high birth rate
and large proportion of children, Africa is known as "the continent with the youngest population" on earth.
Africa's population structure is young and continues to grow younger. This trend will not stop for now, and in sub-Saharan Africa, the number of young people aged 15 to 24 is expected to increase by 15 to 20 percent every 10 years through 2040.
As a result, Amnesty International estimates at most 250,000 child soldiers in the melee teams across Africa, and last year UNICEF said there are still 30,000 children fighting today.
What a "young Africa"! Although it will surely grow into a fully rational modern system continent in the future, it is still slowly evolving! Of course, for the long history of human beings, it is nothing to be delayed for decades or even hundreds of years!
Finally, I will teach you an African indigenous language: ni baba, ni mama, by the way, "your father, your mother"! Ha ha ha ha! I really didn't shake you, please watch the video for yourself!
