Moviecut—Stars in the Sky: A Hunting Story

Like any modern moral dilemma, the subject could be talked about and debated for hours, if not days. Of course this short film isn't going to cover everything. My favorite part about this film is that you have two sides to the coin. You have perspectives given both for and against hunting. The creators of this film didn't portray the advocate against hunting in some negative way, nor did they try to "shut him down". They presented both sides of the argument, albeit much more towards their side, but gave you the option to judge. I commend that type of "respect for the enemy", if you want to call it that. Giving your opposition a voice.

Worth the view if you want an introspection of hunting. It may not satisfy everyone, but the effort to explore different perspectives is laudable.

I challenge anyone to try to explain hunting better. Steve provokes all the main debates about hunting while explaining in the most thoughtful way, why we hunt.

Hunting among, most things in the world, are looked at through political glasses that act as distortion lenses. If someone can remove these glasses no matter their political views and watch this, then it serves as a wonderful introduction to a much larger discussion on hunting and it's place in the modern world.

Maybe it is just not for me, but this film involves interviews with a succession of people who love nature, and wildlife, but none of whom can really explain the necessity of killing wildlife to draw satisfaction from this relationship. Perhaps I just don't understand?

Hunting is as natural as breathing, sleeping and eating and used to be the only way humans were able to eat to survive. Conquering, surviving and feeding from nature is the only way a species can exist. This movie is a good examination of why hunting still exists even if some are skeptical of its morality.

I'm not a meat eater but I respect hunters who hunt for food. Disappointed as this film was a white man's perspective, not one indigenous hunter was featured in this film.

It barely touches the surface of the subject. There is not much deepnes in idea behind this movie. But nice too at least a little efford.
