The impressive scenes in "



Beasts of Boundless
" , the boy’s monologue 1. The slow motion after the boy’s first murder, bgm "God, I killed a person, this is the most serious sin, but I also know that this way It’s the right thing to do.”

2. Long shots of NDF breaking into an empty house. The boy was confused, disappointed and angry after he misidentified his mother.
The boy looked at the lighted roof: "God, do you see what we are doing?"

3.
"2IC is dead... ...we left 2IC to be eaten by bugs, we left him, and I was thinking , The only way to stop fighting is to die.” (I guess it’s probably the death of 2IC that gave the boy the idea of ​​questioning the commander for the first time)

4.
“Every day people are struggling to death. Every day someone I know dies. I'm thinking, if this war is over, I can't go back to doing children's things."

"Bullets swallow everything, leaves, trees, land, people, swallow them, make people bleed."
"Now we are like nowhere else to go. We are just like wild animals now with no place to be going.

"The sun, why do you shine on this world?" I want to hold you in my hands, squeeze you, knowing you no longer shine. In this way, everything is dark, and no one can see any horrible things happening here. "

5,
" I want to say hag, I was tired, I was tired, so this sentence does not say it from my mouth. "

6,
" Mom, I can only speak with you, because God will not listen to me, is your song let my body move, I no longer need to think anything, not to think dominatrix, not Think about war, don't think about anything that jumps into my mind. I want to lie on the warm ground, close my eyes, and smell the fragrance of the land. ”

7.
"I don't know how long I stayed here, but I know staying here for a long time, weeks, months, I don't remember, I only know how it feels here, I know how people scream, The smell of dead people, I know how I feel in my blood."

8.
"I just think of an old man, she is like a little girl, because I have fought in wars, but she has no idea what war is."

9. With Amy's Conversation:
"I'm thinking about my future... I saw terrible things, I did terrible things, so if I talk to you, it will make me sad, and it will make you sad. In this life, I just thought about it. Happy life, if I tell you this, you will feel that I am some kind of beast or demon. I am both. But I have also had mom, dad, and brothers and sisters who loved me. They loved me.”

Of course also There are also African indigenous music interspersed in the war and thought-provoking background music, which are very good.


Finally, I hope that children who have experienced war can finally re-invest in a new life just like boys.
May there be no more wars.

    The problem still lies in the drama. From the perspective of a child, there may be more things, but it is still exile, conscripted, massacred, massacred... When there is no new idea, it is difficult to let people enter the emotions. The original work is actually a fictional novel, which is probably the explanation. But it's okay to just read it as a story, after all, the shooting is still good, Fuyong also personally took the shot.
