Haha, look at all of these sheep, wannabe film critics.
I love how the internet age has brought on a bunch of followers that think they need to say what they think the most prestigious film makers would say in terms of ideas from other viewers.
All of the sudden, anything that has been done before is a "copout" or "cliche."
Abu killing the Commander would have been somewhat therauputic for him and the group. Commander brainwashed those kids and ruined their already tattered lives... But wait a minute... That's been done before. Forget that, lets just have Abu run into the ocean at the end.
Isn`t it ironic how you`re accusing people of doing the exact same thign you`re doing even harder? Aren`t you a "wannabe critic" by saying killing the commander would have been "therapeutic" and bashing the ending with "lets just have Abu run into the ocean"? You`re critiquing the movie and saying what OP proposed would be better. You sound so snob saying it, too. Sheep? Who the frack says sheep?
People here reject the OPs alternate endings because it`s exactly what you`d expect from this kind of movie. It would be giving closure to the conflict, but them trying to recover themselves, the other kids running towards the war againa, that`s how actual child soldiers end. Did you even get the whole running into the ocean thing? You did understand it was not just him going for a swim, did you?
I`m reading everything in an african accent now. You?
