After spending years apart from each other, they can now finally be together. The last scene shows the lovers traveling up the Pacific Coast Highway. Instead, he rightly concentrates on their personal and moral victories, which are no less important. Mason knows that upending that entire administrative edifice is impossible, at least for the characters he created for this film.
The country has been turned into a police state, run by a megalomaniac and corrupt individuals like Harland. Even the munies have to abide by the martial law, which is implemented after every sundown. The Non-munies never go outside without personal protective equipment. The film states that the government’s response to it has been equally devastating. For all intent and purpose, it’s truly the end times. While some have been replaced by newer versions that are better suited to this changing world, like Lester’s courier service, they are just not enough. Various infrastructures that were quintessential in the pre-COVID world are collapsing one by one. The film informs its audiences that four years into the outbreak, over 180 million people have died. The dystopia it portrays is not just the result of the pandemic but also the steps the government took to fight it. The film makes some strong arguments against government overreach. May and Michael begin a virtual relationship, while Nico sends his bracelet to Lester. Piper shifts the blame for their illegal bracelet operation entirely on Harland and William, with her and May serving as the main witnesses against them. During his confrontation with Nico, Harland dies while Michael kills William with his drone as the latter is trying to hurt May. Sara leaves Los Angeles with Nico, and together, they ride toward the ocean on his motorcycle. Ultimately, although her grandmother dies, Sara is proven to be immune. She forms a close bond with Michael Dozer (Paul Walter Hauser), a former US military personal living with a disability. William often leaves his home at night to visit his mistress May (Alexandra Daddario), who is a social media star and cover artist. Realizing the only way to prevent his girlfriend and her grandmother’s transfer to a Q-Zone is to get them two illegal immunity bracelets, Nico goes to acquire them from the affluent Westside couple Piper and William Griffin ( Demi Moore and Bradley Whitford) with all the money he has.ĭisturbed by the fact that Nico knows about their criminal activities, Piper sends him to Emmett Harland (Peter Stormare), the head of DOS and the Griffins’ business partner. When Sara’s grandmother is diagnosed with COVID, the Department of Sanitation comes for both of them. As Sara doesn’t seem to have immunity, the star-crossed lovers must always have a physical barrier between them. He is in love with Sara (Sofia Carson), who lives with her grandmother (Elpidia Carrillo). Apa), a muny, is a courier working for Lester (Craig Robinson). The condition in these zones is horrendous, and people go to desperate lengths to avoid going there. The ones who are found to be infected are forcefully evacuated to Q-Zones by the Department of Sanitation. The other group of people must stay at home and check their temperature with their phones every morning. The munies wear yellow bracelets on their wrists, identifying them as such, and do jobs that require fieldwork. At least in the US, two distinct groups of people have emerged, those who have immunity against the infection AKA “munies,” and those who don’t. COVID-19 has mutated into COVID-23, and there is no end to the pandemic in sight. It’s pure escapism tightly bundled in a quasi-retrospection about our unsettling realities.
#SONGBIRD MOVIE 2020 TV#
Granted, there is already a litany of films and TV shows that have addressed the pandemic in one way or another they are almost always about the human condition in such an unusual and stressful time, but ‘Songbird’ is not one such film. The story is set only four years after the film’s release, and so the world it shows is the worst-case scenario if the current situation continues to devolve at an increasing pace.
