Just watched the premiere airing of Blackbird on Cinema World Asia recognized as the Best Canadian First Feature Film at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival.
"It's just who I am. Too bad not too many people like that!"
Sean is an obedient 16-year-old son, intelligent, a principled person with a character. He loves his little half-sister who he does not see. He reads Frank Kafka known for themes on transformation, isolation, sacrifice.
Story revolved around deconstructing what's going on in Sean's mind wrongly accused of plotting a crime.
The sufferings and conditions he faced, bullied, ostracized, beaten up toughened his grit, endurance and perseverance.
As the story unfolded, we eagerly track how he gets redeemed from the misconceptions about him and how the universe makes up for the injustice done to him.
Detention in prison not once but twice drew out the true good humanity in Sean. Resolving issues on his own; he simply was just truthful about himself and how he feel for others.
"Doesn't anyone care about the truth?"
His goodness was not easy to extract but once it surfaced, he is seen not just human but an extraordinary human.
Nothing not even the most adverse condition can put a good man down. The universe finds a way for one to get what one deserves.
"Easy isn't really my thing"
Still serving the last 2 months of his sentence, the black bird has been freed
