    MOVIE REFLECTION on Birdshot by Mikhail Red


    SUMMARY

    The story plays out in a small land near a sanctuary where a father named Diego Mariano
    teaches his daughter to shoot a gun in order to survive in the real world. The 14 – year old
    daughter namely Maya fails her first shooting lessons and wanders off to the nearby reservation
    the next day. Maya ventures off with her father’s shotgun to once again test her knowledge that
    her father taught. She spots a Philippine eagle and shoots the bird unaware of the fact that it
    was an endangered species. Two officers made their way to investigate a case of a missing bus
    and its passengers but were stopped in the middle of it when they were given another case
    which was the Haribon incident. This lead to a more cruel and sinister case as events unfolded
    in the story.

    BODY

    As seen in the movie, the plot captures the aspect of corruption, sin and ignorance within
    society as a whole. The story shows the moments of how the innocent and untainted Officer
    Domingo got slowly and progressively pulled in to the deviant corruption of the other officials.
    This was a film that comments on current Filipino society where police brutality is committed
    with seeming impunity. It shows how the spirit and morality of even the most upright man or
    idealistic youth can so easily be broken and corrupted by fear and insecurity. The abuse of
    authority by the police officers and officials can be considered a sin due to the fact that they
    used harmful ways of interviewing suspects. Maya lead away from sin by stopping herself from
    killing the officer near the end. Killing animals for no apparent reason and just for fun is a cruel
    act against God’s creations. The scene which shows the mass grave in the end shows a prime
    example of mass murder which is a heavy sin. Sin greatly affects our community as it puts many
    lives in danger including people we may know.

    CONCLUSION

    As a moral agent of this world, I must learn to adapt and understand other people amidst the
    outbreak of the on-going pandemic. We should all be staying indoors and have faith that we
    shall overcome this deadly phenomenon within our midst. Praying for the speedy recovery of
    patients who are affected and lending them your strength is something that we should all be
    able to do. We should listen to public safety announcements given by health officials in order to
    have a safer community and to stop the virus from spreading. During this pandemic, being
    sensitive to the needs of others is a must as it affects almost everyone within our world. Having
    social media as a tool and medium, I should coordinate with our neighbors peacefully and
    inform them of the basic things to do in a community quarantine.
