Surprisingly ordinary.
I expected much more from “War Witch”. After all, it was nominated for the Best Foreign Language Oscar and is about a very important topic, children who are kidnapped and forced to serve in evil rebel forces in Africa. I’ve seen several documentaries about this (especially in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda) and the films have been absolutely heartbreaking to watch due to the evil being perpetrated by these groups (such as the Lord’s Army). Yet, inexplicably, “War Witch” seemed far less hard-hitting and interesting.When the film begins, the main character (later dubbed the ‘War Witch’) is narrating about her life two years earlier. An unnamed rebel group in an unnamed African nation comes on a small village and they kidnap the children (who looked about ages 10-14) and they forced these victims to murder their own parents! Then, they are taken to a rag- tag rebel camp and indoctrinated. The rest of the film follows this girl’s adventures–such as her strange ability to see dead people as well as her ill-fated marriage.
Considering how tough the film began, I was really surprised that over time the film just seemed to fizzle and seemed to lack direction. The film SHOULD have been a strong indictment of the evil forces on the continent that rob children of their childhoods but it got lost, a bit, with the ghosts, white chicken, marriage and other distractions. My advice–see one of the documentaries instead, such as “Sewing Hope”.

Rebelle was a very interesting movie in my opinion. I knew a lot of African countries were struggling economically and in terms of civil unrest etc., but I never really thought of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Mainly after the events in Libya and especially what is going on in the Middle East right now, I didn’t really pay any attention to how any other country was doing. After this film however, I now see how many countries are currently going through tough times all at the same time also! It’s crazy to think how blind we can become to other problems in the world that don’t directly affect us in any way. I thought this film had a lot of similar characteristics to other films we’ve watched. There is this reoccurring style of long periods of silence that we have gotten in many movies along with very little dialogue. This movie has little internal dialogue and most of the speaking is in the form of the main character telling a story of her life. I find this type of movie to be pretty interesting because its so different to what we are normally exposed to in movie theaters here in St. Pete or elsewhere. I didn’t really like how there were quite a bit of unexplained things. For example, where specifically she lived, what the governmental situation was at the time, the towns they would go to while looking for the white rooster, etc. Another thing I found interesting was that when they showed the ghosts every so often, it wasn’t CGI effects, it was real people that were painted white. I thought this was a clever use of resources.
