Beasts of No Nation-A Movie Review

December 15, 2015December 15, 2015 B. John 263 Views 0 Comments Abraham Attah, Emmanuel Affadzi, Ricky Adelayitor, Andrew Adote, Drama, Child Soldier, War, South Africa, Cary Joji Fukunaga, Uzodinma Iweala

Follows the journey of a young boy, Agu, who is forced to join a group of soldiers in an unnamed West African country. While Agu fears his commander and many of the men around him, his fledgling childhood has been brutally shattered by the war raging through his country. We heard about this movie being on Netflix after hearing an interview with Cary Fukunaga on NPR’s Fresh Air. We started a little late last evening, and I didn’t expect to finish watching it before going to bed, but I couldn’t stop watching. While based on a novel, it was, from all I’ve read, a realistic portrayal of the life of child soldiers, and it is a sad life. This is an outstanding movie, but it is very difficult to watch.
