TO FILM director Steven Spielberg, movies are a "heightened reality, making reality fun to live with, as opposed to something you run from and protect yourself from." What happens when reality intrudes into an unreal world?
As cameras rolled, a sleepy barangay guard from real life fired his real gun and really killed one actor. That spoiled the film take and police had a homicide in its hands.
The incident late Saturday night on Zamora St., Barangay Pari-an, in Cebu City, was a freak one all right.
A barangay tanod, roused from sleep by a neighbor's report that an armed man had been sighted, saw two men, one holding a gun, drive by on a motorcycle. He shouted "Stop!" and was told it was "only a (film) shooting" as they sped away. The tanod fired and killed the man who, it turned out, had only a toy gun.
The tanod alleged he wasn't told about the filming and there was no policeman around.
The station chief said the tanod had been briefed and six cops were assigned in the area.
Events conspired
Wherever blame will be allocated, it was a case of reality meddling with make-believe.
And a tanod's choices set it off: He didn't have a license but he toted a .357
revolver. There was an election gun ban, yet he carried the firearm, unimpeded by police or barangay officials. Unqualified to use a gun, he fired anyway and the shot was lethal.
In an industry that lists even carpenters and drivers in film credits, the tanod won't have his name in the movie, produced by a London outfit and titled "Going Somewhere."
He trespassed. And if there's any place he's going to, it must be some jail cell, which is as real as it can be.
