Cary Fukunaga's "Beasts of No Nation" [2015]

just finished this one...

gotta say i think its a bit over hyped...like how many movies we going to get about 'savage africa' and its perceptibly self created civil wars.

it had decent moments but wasn't really taken back by it at all...

7/10 for me

He was just high. All Agu wanted was to be with his mom again after all that happened.

I never got that they wanted to kill the commander (Idris), he was "promoted" somewhere off the field at a lower position because his methods were viewed as bad business. Although I do believe Idris was then jealous and hating 2IC because he was going to take over his squad and he had something to do with 2IC being shot by the prosti.

I thought for a minute Agu & Strika wete gonna have a beef when Agu was becoming "the favorite" and Idris didnt let Strika look thru the scope. At first thought Strika was mad when Idris called Agu up in the lil barrck or w/e. When he walked to the back room i saw the bed, man the wheels in my head were already turning n i was like no no please no. He gave him the hat and said he liked him i immediately was :smh: i felt bad for Agu, Strika sympathized cuz he knew the feels. I

got in my feels when Strika died though :frown: .. got me teary-eyed like when G-Baby got shot

Rewatched it over the weekend...like the movie even more. Good film.

One thing I noticed that I didn't on my initial watch was Idris calling Stryker into his tent when they first recruited Agu. Agu just looked in a mix of confusion and disgust.

These boys went thru hell man
