Hawk is an dark, eerie, mythological and historical film about a young boy who must come to understand the balance of nature and Gods as he grows. Even though this is a short film it has the potential to feel like a cinema movie or even a series leaving me guessing and wondering where the boy's choices are going to lead him to next.
The relationship between the two main characters are of master and student, the master goes through the days in the wild teaching the young boy survival skills, history about the land and myths about gods. Since the movie is set in the forest you can see that there's a hierarchy and food chain in place along with a sense that something unexpected might happen to the characters. From start to finish the skies kind of determined what the mood of the scene was. E.g. Clear skies meaning it was calm, dark skies meaning something mysterious is going on and thunder skies meaning something suspenseful or dangerous was going on.
The film is narrated by the older version of the young boy who must go through redemption after upsetting a god of the forest. I personally think he was put through a test to see if he learned anything at all or if he was still ignorant which was signified in the first few minutes of the movie. By the end he meets the god of the forest; some would argue that he deserved a better ending or even karma caught up to him but I think it's fair considering the choices he's made.
