Meet Justin. A gryphon of a few words, it's what they say about him at first. But as he got used to the real world, something seems to change over time. Like Red, Chuck, and Bomb, he too had anger issues. But when something that corresponds with his issues in life becomes clearer, it's just not fair sometimes. Also, given the fact that his major disorder is Asperger's Syndrome, it can be hard even for other people to understand. So, when he gets mad, it can seriously end badly. Especially with his freedom of rights in which he is entitled to, it can be very destructive, even almost killing someone in the process.
Basically, this is my side of the story, told in a third-person perspective. What you're about to see was how I got into the footsteps of Red, just before the big war between the birds and pigs. And since this is a re-enactment of the movie, this story will go like how it is presented, except a few scenes not in the movie being added to the mix. Just watch how the story will go as it goes along. Now, please enjoy reading The Modernization: An Angry Birds Movie Re-enactment.
It was a beautiful Wednesday on Bird Island. It was July 19, 2017, and Justin was out delivering packages for Amazon Canada. Even though he isn't employed by Amazon to do so in Bird Island, he still does it and gets paid for the services he does. He looks quite stylish, and sometimes even wears clothes and sandals, which some of the birds wear, while others just don't mind about it at all. He even wears a white fedora with a band of grey and green stripes, three lines going horizontal all around the rim in a connected fashion. He lives in a house quite like the one he lives within in real life, being way different than all the other houses in the island. Of course, he had to look his best. He even has wings, which none of the others do. So, it was no wonder that he can fly.
He has many friends, including the three special birds, Red, Chuck and Bomb. This is also how he has some anger issues of Red, the cheekiness of Chuck, along with the fast speed (no wonder he could get the packages delivered on time), and Bomb's explosive disorders. And while Justin does have a family in real life, a hidden branch of his family tree also relates him to being the relative of Red, he also is a best friend with Chuck and Bomb.
After his morning shift was done, which lasted for around 2-4 hours, starting at 7 a.m., he put his paycheques that are recent into a safe in his house. Paycheques that were old were already deposited to the bank account he has.
"Man, another workday finished. With all that said and done, I wonder what's up in the village?" He then put away his work items and started biking his way down to the village. He hasn't had his breakfast yet, so he was on his way down to the restaurant.
After being in line at the Early Bird restaurant, he was eating until he overheard some birds laughing about something. He continued eating, until he realized what they were laughing about. It was something about him, but he thought, what could it be?
"Hey, what are you even laughing about here?" Justin asked to the group who was still laughing, a bit quietly at first, until one of the birds spoke.
"Oh, that'd be you, of course!"
"But why, though? What is it about me that is causing all of this hilariousness within you?" They just laughed again. But this time, something that one of the birds said caused Justin to lose his patience.
"Your eyebrows! They're not as thick as Red, but it's clearly thick enough for you to be a censorship box!" The group of birds then were laughing quite hard, making Justin feel even more angry. Those in the line started laughing as well, which is becoming so embarrassing to Justin that he doesn't even know what to say.
Justin tried to ignore the insult, but then one of the birds in the group took off his hat, revealing that he is a gryphon like no other. Now with his anger at fullest potential, and that he was publicly humiliated in front of lots of people, he began to enrage and gritted his teeth. Then, he soon tapped into Red's Anger Instincts at maximum rage, and with a loud scream of rage…
"NOW YOU'LL GET WHAT'S COMING, FLOCKERS! HERE IS YOUR DAMN PAYBACK!" Justin then lifted the table with just his hands, and threw it at the group of birds who bullied him. It then created an explosion of debris that spread all over the restaurant. When Justin managed to return to his normal self, he noticed all the birds in the restaurant glaring at him in shock and surprise.
"Oh, crud. This isn't going to be good…" He mutters to himself, knowing he's done it again…
The next hour, he found himself in Bird Court. During the session, he answered many questions that Judge Peckinpah asked him on what happened. He got nervous when some witnesses, those who were there in the incident, came up to speak.
"Your Honor. We were in line to get our food, when we witnessed that a group of birds were bullying him because of his eyebrows, making it an insult," said one bird.
"Then, after one of the birds took his hat, we saw him going into an animalistic instinct like Red's anger, and he just lifted a table and hurled it at them!" Another said so with shock, pointing at Justin.
"And then the table just exploded when it hit them, spreading debris all over!" Another bird cried out.
Justin sighed in guilt, then began to address the court. "Sir, it was never meant to be like that. All it took was an insult, and that was it." He then took back his hat and put it back on him. He then continued. "People of Bird Island. Do you see me as a happy bird all the time here? Sure, most people can say yes to that, but I deny that. It was only just an accident. I was just there when the incident happened, and they insulted my looks!" He then pointed at the culprit birds. "THESE BIRDS HAVE SCARRED ME QUITE BADLY! CAN'T THEY HAVE ANY COMMON SENSE?!"
Judge Peckinpah cleared up his throat, and turned his attention to Justin. "Mr. Justin. We're all happy-go-lucky birds like you, but not that kind of happy of yours. There seems to be a recurring issue here with you: Anger."
Justin scoffed over the statement. "Oh, come on. Everyone has those kinds of anger issues. I mean, you even have your moments too."
The judge ignored him and continued, "Still, your so-called 'accident' is not an excuse for hurting our fellow birds."
"I'm telling you now, sir! It was a direct insult! You can even see here on my fedora their featherprints right here-"He trips over the robe, pulling down the robe, revealing Cyrus, much to everyone else's surprise. "Oh, that was also an accident sir…" His mood then changes to anger. "…if you haven't been that stingy in the first place. All because you're HALF of the size of your own government!" He throws the robe on top of the judge, and he puts it aside, now more pissed than ever.
"Mr. Justin. Given the severity of the crimes that were committed by you today, I have no choice but to impose the highest and maximum penalty allowed by the law…"
Justin's ego began to drop, and knew what was about to happen. "No… Don't tell me that it's happening already, sir…" He was getting more nervous, mumbling further as he was about to give on the verdict.
"I hereby sentence you to…"
Justin is now on the verge of losing it all. Whatever the judge said, had to be done. "Don't tell me that you're sending me to…"
"Anger Management Class." Both Peckinpah and Justin said the verdict at the same time.
It's over. Justin had gone through hard work, and now has been stripped away of all his dignity, now at the lowest point of society, forced to attend the classes for the rest of his life. Forever. Justin was stunned at the verdict, and had no words of saying so. "Court adjourned." And with a loud hit of the gavel, it has been done.
"Yes sir…" Justin then went out the doors and without a word, continues to proceed on to the centre.
As he walked on, many of his once-called friends now became nothing to him. One of them, named Poppy, tried to greet him. "Hey, Justin! Care to join along and have fun?"
"Not this time. I'm not up for it." He just passed by her with no emotion. With all his hard-earned work now gone, he couldn't bear the fact of what he must do. Passing by the many smiling birds, he soon went down the path, got on his bike, and then pedalled off down the road to the off skirts of the village. His first Anger Management session is about to begin very shortly…
