Beasts of No Nation

Rating: 9/10 (10 October 2018)

"Grass cutter, "Grass cutter, left, left! They yelled to Agu as he tried to lift a box full of death weapons with his small frail eleven year old arms. A few days ago I watched a movie that was a remake of the book "Beasts of No Nation." Usually when people try to remake a book into a movie, it doesn't turn out well but the drectors managed to form a script that could be understood by everyone but didn't lose its African ethnicity. It was a job well done. The movie follows young boy, Agu, who has gone through a huge tragedy and witnessed the massacre of many he loves due to a war. Trying to survive, alone, helpless, and extremely hungry, he is captured and recruited as a child soldier. A painfully beautiful story
