‘Love, Death & Robots’ Season 3 finale episode, “Jibaro,” is about a siren who rises from the lake,
and her song leads to the death of several men. When a woman wrapped in gold ornaments rose
and sang her song, men were drawn toward her, which ultimately led to their death. While all the
soldiers fell into the trap of the woman wrapped in gold, Jibaro escaped from her power. He was
deaf, and that saved his life. The woman was surprised by her failure, and that infatuated her.
Jibaro was happy to have lost his fellow soldiers since he could now take back all the wealth he
had found in the forest. At night, the woman slept next to him. In the morning, he woke up to find
her beside him, and he was enchanted by all the gold on her body. He kissed her and violated her
body to take away all the gold that was wrapped around her. Leaving her unconscious, the soldier
tried to escape the forest with his bag full of gold. But the woman rose again, and this time the
blood from her violated body filled the river. When Jibaro drank water from the river to quench
his thirst, he was cured of his deafness. He was confused by the change and went into a state of
frenzy. The Golden woman sang her song, and this time Jibaro was not spared from her power. He
was drawn into the lake, and her voice pained him. He ultimately died and fell into the water body,
and we witnessed him join the thousands of men whose bodies lay in the river bed. The golden
woman was perhaps the protector of the forest, whose voice helped keep away invaders who
wanted to excavate the land for its wealth. While the golden woman thought that Jibaro was
different, he too proved that he was just the same.
What I’ve learned about this movie is that to never trust anyone you don’t know just because you
feel that he/she have good intentions. And I also learned how toxic relationship never last, so we
so shouldn’t settle for this kind of relationship. If you feel like you’re in a toxic relationship you
better get out of it because it will never be goon on you. Just like how the characters both end up
losing because they started wrong. I can say that they’re a wailking red flag because they like each
other for a wrong reason. One is for the greed of the gold and the other one is for lust. So, in
inclusion a relationship started with wrong reason end up in very tragic way.
And with regards with our topic about our environment this movie also show colonization. As we
can see in the movie the knights and priest can be a representation of the European who invade the
foreign land. And the siren can a representation of a forest goddess who protect it from outsiders.
This movie represent how those people who are in higher up do everything they can because of
the greed of gold and other resources in the forest. We can observe how beautiful the nature is not
until people with motive invade it and destroy it because of self interest not knowing how their
action affect many people including those innocent people living in the forest. The siren can also
a representation of those indigenous people in the forest who truly own and lived in the forest who
got displace because of those greedy people.
