From the slaughter to the birth, from the pursuit of survival to the resistance for freedom, it seems that the director is telling the story of the blood and tears of the African people who have suffered from war. Actually not, in this sad song of the black world, there is only one voice singing, and that is "white"!
"Kill your parents!"
"If you don't kill them, I will kill them with a machete!"
Through simple dialogue and the scene when the heroine pulls the trigger, the inhumanity of the rebels is portrayed, and in the audience's subconscious The seeds of hatred for the rebels were planted there. And this seed that should have grown on the rebels was subtly transferred to the eastern building that appeared when the heroine was imprisoned in the rebel headquarters. The one who rescued the heroine from prison was a "white man" who was bleached, just like Michael Jackson.
"If you want to marry me, you have to find a white rooster." According to an African tradition, the rooster symbolizes a new life. The female protagonist's voice is telling the male protagonist that if you want to marry me, you have to give me a dream life - a peaceful life without wars and massacres, you plough the fields and I weave. And this white rooster, which symbolizes a stable and comfortable life, was finally found in a "white community" in Africa. This is a paradise in Africa, where women sit comfortably at their doorsteps watching their children play football happily, men carry out their daily social activities, there is no smell of smokeless powder and sulphur, and there is no fear of rebels came. All that comes to mind is that there is nothing more miraculous than Indian oil to satisfy men's wives. Of course, there are preconditions, Come baby! Hurry up and bleach your dark skin! You'll step into a white man's paradise!
This is just a movie that hides its bells and whistles. The selfishness of the Western powers spread the scourge of war to Africa, and each of its coasts bears every bloody footprint of the colonizers: "Grain Coast", "Ivory Coast", "Gold Coast", "Slave Coast" ...And now, these blood leeches began to act as angels.
