"Battlefield" was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the 85th Academy Awards.
I still prefer the name "War of the Dead". The film shows the brutality of war through the eyes of an adolescent girl, Komona. The realistic footage is also interspersed with dreams about African legends, reminiscent of endless sadness. , hardship and suffering. The war scenes in the movie are very tragic, and the shooting effect is quite realistic. After watching it, it makes people feel very heavy! Today, I watched this film at 739 Film and Television, and now I can't calm down for a long time. At the beginning of the film, the audience showed a horrific massacre, showing the cruelty and deprivation of humanity on the African battlefield. But it's not a gloomy movie. Komona finally returned to her village, saw the souls of her parents, and fulfilled her wish.
Komona is also a symbol, she symbolizes the African people's yearning for peace and humanity, she is a victim and witness of this war, her baby born in the woods is a symbol of the seeds of peace and civilization on the African continent, Even though it was so hard-won, even if it was so fragile in its infancy, the director gave this seed hope for germination and growth. "Battlefield Wizard" is also the winner of the Silver Bear Award for Best Actress at the 62nd Berlin International Film Festival - Rachel Mahwazin.
