Johnny is hateful but also sad~~~

The background of the film is war-torn Africa, where there are too many ethnic traumas and historical sorrows, which have also become the root cause of their wars and racial conflicts.

Maybe we should have known from the moment we saw the group of child soldiers looting the village under the instigation of the rebels and wantonly killing the name of the village, they are not naive children, but a group of blind killing machines.

Their humanity has been distorted by war, their values ​​and worldviews have not yet been formed, and a group of growing children pin their unique impulses for their own sense of identity in what they call a war of racial protection.
And this was just used by those rebel leaders who had evil intentions. They misled the cognition of these children, passed on their enthusiasm for war to them, and made them have the urge to war.
So what we see is a group of killing machines who act recklessly, slaughter, rape, loot, and domineering =


but when they wantonly burn, kill and loot, they are guilty and timid. Their reasons for defending themselves are all so ridiculous and pale. But the gun in their hand gave them a reason to overwhelm everything. The bullet is king, and they gradually found that they had a gun and they were the masters, and because of this, they became more fanatical.

But in their consciousness, war exists for some kind of hope after all. They hope to seek happiness and safety for their families through their own hands, but they have long been blinded by the blood and interests of war. What they have been doing is actually They all destroyed their happy home in one hand.

They are actually at a loss in the process of doing evil. When the child who was still holding a wooden gun was killed in a conflict, they looked at the corpse covered by the mat, and when the butterfly sang the shocking song, I wonder if they all felt the coldness and life of the rain. cruel.
For love and knowledge, he no longer wanted to explore, but forced to obtain it. From the poor female anchor to the girl who died because of her in the end, maybe no one knew what he finally understood. For knowledge, he was full of desire, but all this was overshadowed by the war frenzy, and the old couple became the victims of his self-righteous show of force.

Only in the end, when their war ended and the group of child soldiers lost their usefulness, they were kicked away as useless scrap iron.
Johnny was lonely, he didn't get what he wanted, but those chaotic thoughts had swayed him, he didn't fight and still obeyed, and it could only turn into a tragedy in the end.

There is no need to say much about the scenes of war in the movie. The scenes of those who were displaced by the war and lost their relatives and friends during the war were painful.

Perhaps Oakley has always been a symbol of some kind of hope in the film, so the seed of hope is not dead, and the future will always be bright.
