Night Flight - Trailer
Night Flight is not simply the story of the love of the teenage boys, it is also the past stream about friendship, love, education, social-grade discrimination, even unkind opinions about the LGBT people. The film clearly illustrates the ruthlessness of human, the poor behavior of the people who are disrespectful with sexual orientation of others. At the same time, it is about fear, pain and desires to be themselves, they hopelessly await normal people to accept them because of who they really are.
The night flight tells a story of three teenagers with different life, personality: Yong-Joo-an excellent student who always tries to get a good result of obtaining access to Seoul National University but he must always hide he’s gay, Ki-woong-a bad student, who is good at bullying at school and Ki-taek-a big fan of comic , a person of few words and cranky. The triple are friends, but when Ki-woong is at high school, he joins the Seong Jin gang. Since then leaving the pair Yong-joo and Ki-taek. While Yong-Joo has always defended Ki-taek (who is being bullied at school), Ki-Woong is only standing out, which makes the two farther away from each other. In an unexpected meeting, Yong-joo and Ki-Woong resume his old friendship, and he also advises Ki-woong to leave the school gang and the two become more intimate. But things begin to be get complicated when Ki-taek discovered Yong-joo a gay, he betrays his close friend by revealing to everyone that Yong-joo loved Ki-woong for years,he discriminates Yong-Joo and joins the Seong-Jin gang.
Night Flight is not only a huge attack on the discrimination and judgment against the lives standing on the edge of the society, Besides, it shows not only an insightful story of strong love but also fills with romance and tenderness. Of course, with just one film can not change many things, but when we try to sympathize people around us by heart, like the way this film tries to apprehend, even a little bit, at least that would be a great hope.
