Very Good Film

Overall, I believe "Rebelle" was a very good film. If I were to criticize anything about the film, it would be about the confusing introduction. I felt completely lost at the beginning of the film. I was not able to follow everything that was going on at the beginning of the movie. On the other hand, it was extremely exciting when she was forced into the decision of killings her parents herself or having the army kill them at just 12 years old. When she did choose to shoot her parents, it was a shocking and scary wake up call that showed us just how crazy things can get in these African countries. I personally was a big fan of the ending. Though it was sad when magician died, it showed a good representation of how disappointing life can be at such a young age there. As a side note, I thought it was really cool how they made the ghosts look pretty creepy, especially their grey eyes. I also liked how the movie went in a full circle and ended with her returning back to where she killed her parents, so she could bury them. Also, the baby provided a small glance at a happy ending driving off into a new life, leaving the past behind her.
