"Sun Dogs,(2017). Starring Michael Arangano and Jennifer Morrison. Directed by Jennifer Morrison and written by Raoul McFarland. This movie on its face is tragic and sad. But its purpose is to parody and expose a danger to society. What danger is that? The danger is the U. S. military preying on the unsuspecting segment of the population: the human fledglings. This stage of human development is from about 12-22 years of age. At this stage the human brain undergoes a phenomenal change, marked by heightened and acute awareness, enhanced by the chemical, hormonal changes which enable the survival of the young in a highly competitive and hostile natural world. Unfortunately, the unnatural world of the military uses these fledglings for nefarious purposes. Historically, one example of a government scapegoating its citizens can be seen in the film "Sarajevo." In American recent daily life, this surrepticious ploy can been seen in the Boston Bomber attack. Another in the Twin Towers attack. Another the Charles Manson rampage which happened at the behest of the CIA.

Sun Dogs is a parody of how the military is responsible for using natural behavior of its citizens as a weapon or tool. This film is told in a contrario. It is a mirror image to what is actually happening in society. Ned Chiply is disabled at birth and is in a diminished mental capacity. Human fledglings achieve a new stage of development where they are at their peak in areas of their physical fitness. But they are handicapped by the new developments in their brains which is geared toward the flight or fight response. Ned's fight response is well developed and on target. And unfortunately suceptible.

This film is very well done and would be a good film to discuss with young adults, comparing and contrasting with other similar films.

I give this film 5 of 5 stars. The writer makes a very astute social comment on the military. Enjoy!
