Agu, The protagonist of Beasts of No Nation<\/em> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Agu from Beasts of No Nation<\/em> is a film but book first which shows us a world not too far away but feels worlds apart. As the audience watches Agu go from a happy child to an orphan to being guided to fight as a child soldier they too feel themselves become desensitized. His age is also used to parallel the audience as the lack of understanding as the average first world person typically has of Africa. The viewer has already left home and watches Agu does as well. They see not only the environment but culture but at times it’s inter cut with the solders deep in vast harsh ecosystems. Being dropped into any different culture somewhat makes children of all of us. Sometimes this is from awe and beauty, but other times shock and sights of horror. At the end of the day this story, like all, is about people who are just trying to survive life but Beast of No Nation opened my eyes to see the world as so much larger.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
