Shinobu Yaguchi’s 2008 film ‘Happy Flight’ begins with a montage in which various flight attendants discuss different safety measures, from fastening seatbelts to the procedure of using oxygen masks during a flight. This montage resembles a commercial, particularly in an aviation-based film aimed at promoting safety measures, much like how other movies raise awareness about the harmful effects of smoking. It is understandable, given that the Japanese airline company All Nippon Airways supports the film’s creation; perhaps this scene is meant to educate passengers about flight safety. However, in a broader context, Shinobu Yaguchi seeks to convey that, just as safety measures are demonstrated for passengers, he is also crafting an experience for the audience—specifically, for their entertainment. And rightly so, for 103 minutes, ‘Happy Flight’ takes viewers on an entertaining journey through a light-hearted comedy about the heroic efforts of several misfits.
