![]() ![]() I'm typing and I can feel the urge to go back and watch some parts, but I'll stay away for a while and let it sink in. A very creative contrast.ĭo I plan on rewatching it? Of course, probably many times. Some shoots are serene, colorful and truly artistic, matching the emotions (love), while some are simply raw, monotone and cruel, matching the reality (pain). Visually, there are many important details sometimes it's bright, but mostly dark. Not too much, really, just the right amount of sounds to make it more touching, at the right time. Given how quiet and raw the movie feels, when the music starts, it speaks emotions. I could feel their pain growing under my skin, and all it took was looking into their eyes and their messy gestures. The acting, with more interest in the body language rather than words, was intense and surprisingly good. I thought for a moment, given their situations, it's more expected for their personalities to have been reversed, but this way it's actually more interesting, I really like that. I found they personalities very pure, pained and so lonely, bearing their own heavy stories, but they choose to cope with their feelings in completely opposite ways - Yong Joo is the bright, brave and sincere one, while Gi Wook is quieter, violent and doesn't know how to express himself. ![]() Thus, the moments they speak, the dialogue is actually complex, behind its simple words. The emotions can be seen only through gestures, the way the look at each other, the way they don't when they can't see each other (but they wonder about the other) and the words they always seem to share without speaking. Let go of your affectionate dramaland and learn to see differently. Don't expect sweetness, there's no such thing. And everything crashes, in a very beautiful, aching way. This already confusing relationship they have takes a new turn when Yong Joo realizes the feelings he has for Gi Wook have been romantic for a very long time. The two of them have a complicated relationship, a kind of bitter, one-sided friendship which lacks closeness and words. Yong Joo and Gi Wook own the plot, while Gi Taek holds a meaningful role through the story. It explores the relationship between three childhood friends - Yong Joo, Gi Wook and Gi Taek. This movie manages to show a honest reality, with striking scenes and a solid plot. Night Flight is nothing about fetishizing homosexuality and avoiding the truth. Lately, not only in cinematography, but also music, I've noticed more support and attention in this country. So, coming from such a harsh society, it's rare to see a realistic and brave movie regarding this matter. They bring the sweet part of it and forget how unrealistic that is, especially in Korea, but it's trendy. Koreans have this unhealthy habit of using same-gender romance as fanservice, and personally, I'm so sick of it. I couldn't anticipate the plot, the atmosphere nothing. I wasn't even going to write a review, since I'm still overwhelmed and my words may lack the power to describe how painfully touching this movie is. ![]() Rewatch Value 8.5 An oasis in this wasteland, as Lucien Carr may say, and I'm willing to say it twice. ![]()
