Beast Of No Nation
As I take into account the movie I just watched, I have many mixed emotions about it. Beast of No Nation, is a movie I would have never watched. After watching it has given me insight of how a war can take away a childhood and innocence. This movie I would consider a raw movie, with very graphic scenes and detailed violence.
This movie did a great job portraying how children are taken away from their childhood and used as soldiers. These children don’t choose this life but are forced to join these rebel groups in order to stay alive. The story of Agu in Beast of No Nation is very heartbreaking. Agu a preteen, lives with his parents and siblings in a small village, his country has been taken over by war. His dad is a leader of the village and lets refugees stay on his land. Agu and his family seem to be safe but …show more content…
The women are raped and beaten and the young children are forced to kill with no remorse. How there is no laws that help protect the children from being taken into these rebel groups. It showed, how the children get brainwashed into thinking that what they are doing is acceptable and they are helping their country. It also showed how men are the only ones in the rebel groups or in any of the military groups.
The only thing about the film that I didn’t like was that it didn’t specify on a specific war. This makes it difficult to compare historical. Although this movie is hard to compare to a specific war it does have a similarity to what is happening in Congo. The rebel groups in Congo are made up of mostly young children just like in the movie Beast of No Nation.
Overall I enjoyed watching this movie. It definitely not a movie I would have ever thought of watching but I’m glad I did. This movie, gave me insight on how children here get to enjoy their childhood and how lucky they are that there are laws that protect
