HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON

HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON

How to Train Your Dragon is a media franchise from DreamWorks Animation and loosely based on the book series of the same name by British author Cressida Cowell. It consists of three feature films: How to Train Your Dragon (2010), How to Train Your Dragon 2 (2014), and How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World (2019). The franchise also contains five short films: Legend of the Boneknapper Dragon (2010), Book of Dragons (2011), Gift of the Night Fury (2011), Dawn of the Dragon Racers (2014) and How to Train Your Dragon: Homecoming and How to Train Your Dragon: Snoggletog Log (both 2019). A live-action remake of the first film is scheduled for release by Universal Pictures in June 2025. A sequel is also scheduled for June 2027.

The television series based on the events of the first film, DreamWorks Dragons, began airing on Cartoon Network in September 2012. The first and second seasons were titled Dragon: Riders of Berk and Dragons: Defenders of Berk respectively. After the two seasons on Cartoon Network, the series was given the new title Dragons: Race to the Edge. The characters are older and it served as a prequel to the second film, running from June 2015 to February 2018.[1] A second series, titled Dragons: Rescue Riders, began airing on Netflix in 2019 and features a completely different cast and locale than the original series of films and TV shows, but is set in the same universe. A third series, Dragons: The Nine Realms, began streaming on Hulu and Peacock in December 2021, with Rescue Riders transferring to Peacock beginning with the third season under the Heroes of the Sky subtitle. Unlike past entries in the franchise, The Nine Realms is set in the 21st century, specifically around 1,300 years after the events of The Hidden World.

The franchise primarily follows the adventures of a young Viking named Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III (voiced by Jay Baruchel), son of Stoick the Vast, leader of the Viking island of Berk. Although initially dismissed as a clumsy and underweight misfit, he soon becomes renowned as a courageous dragons expert, alongside Toothless, a member of the rare Night Fury breed as his flying mount and closest companion. Together with his friends, he manages the village’s allied dragon population in defense of his home as leader of a flying corps of dragon riders. Upon becoming leaders of their kind, Hiccup and Toothless are forced to make choices that will truly ensure peace between people and dragons. Dean DeBlois, the director of the film trilogy, described its story as “Hiccup’s coming of age“, taking place across a span of five years between the first and second film, and a year between the second and third film.[2]

The film series has been highly acclaimed, with each film nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, in addition to the first film’s nomination for the Academy Award for Best Original Score.

Next Sohee (Korean: 다음 소희; RR: Daeum sohui) is a 2022 South Korean drama film, directed by Jung Ju-ri and starring Bae Doona and Kim Si-eun. The film revolves around a business-oriented high school student, Sohee (Kim Si-eun), who has to go on field training at her call center, and a female detective, Yu-jin, who investigates her subsequent death. It is loosely inspired by the real-life suicide of a girl on a similar temporary training program.[3] It was selected as the first Korean closing film at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival and screened in the Critics’ Week section for special screenings.[4]

The film was screened on May 25, 2022, at Espace Miramar in Cannes and received a 7-minute standing ovation.[5] It was also screened as the closing film at the 26th Fantasia International Film Festival. It won the Best Director award in the Cheval Noir competition category and the Best Asian Feature silver award in the Audience Award category. It was released on February 8, 2023, in South Korea.[6]

Synopsis

The film is about Sohee (Kim Si-eun), a high school student who starts training for a subcontracted position at a call center. She is unable to bear the stressful work culture. A mysterious incident leads to her death. Detective Oh Yoo-jin (Bae Doona) starts an investigation into her death.[7]

Plot

Sohee a high school student who enjoys dancing in her spare time is called in by one of her teachers who informs her that he has finally managed to get her an externship spot in a company called Human and Net, one of the many call service centers for S-Plus Korea Telecom(a fictional telecommunications company). Before starting her externship, Sohee had to attend a training session, which turned out to be just makeup lessons and body shaming of the trainees. Once she starts her externship, Sohee learns quickly that the company’s main goal is to increase and maintain sales of S-Plus’s subscription services to their customers instead of helping them when they have decided to cancel their services or face technical difficulties. She is advised to stall the customers as much as possible so they will eventually change their minds and decide to keep their services or buy others that S-Plus telecom provides. Throughout her externship, Sohee has to deal with the verbal abuse of rude customers who yell and swear at her, even experiencing an incident where a customer insinuates himself carrying out sexual assault on her, to which she loses her temper and yells back. Sohee also notices how she is getting exploited by the company as she is underpaid with the excuse of being an extern. Sohee also occasionally has to attend team meetings, including getting reprimanded for not being the top-performing call center under S-Plus. Junho, Sohee’s manager, is the only person in the call center who understands and tries to help Sohee and the other workers as much as possible. One day while walking to work, Sohee witnesses the discovery of Junho’s dead body in his car parked outside the parking lot of the company building. It is implied that he committed suicide by self-inducing carbon monoxide poisoning. It turns out that Junho felt guilty about exploiting the labour of the externs and had sent in whistleblower complaint letters to upper management, yet this was ignored.

A new female manager takes over, focusing on sales and driving them up. She pressures Sohee to sign a form that rebukes the complaints made by Junho (which Sohee unwillingly signs). At a company dinner, Sohee fights with one of the externs, who grudgingly blames her for performing so well, causing the other externs to add pressure to increase their sales. After experiencing only partially paid work yet again, even though she is now hitting sales targets, Sohee focuses on processing customer requests to cancel their subscriptions and services from S-Plus instead of persuading them to pay more for other services. Her manager witnesses this and angrily reprimands Sohee, Sohee calls out the blatant exploitation of externs in the company as well as the multiple instances of her underpaid work, to which the manager mocks Sohee for being poor and always grubbing for money, this angers Sohee and she hits the manager and is Subsequently put on three days of unpaid disciplinary leave of absence. While on leave and suffering from the guilt of signing the form stating Junho’s claims that the company mistreated externs were false, Sohee silts her wrists while on a drunk night out with a friend and is subsequently hospitalized. Sohee requests to quit her externship, but Sohee’s teacher scolds her and tells her to return to work. Depressed at the prospect of returning to the call center and slightly intoxicated from drinking alcohol, Sohee commits suicide by jumping into a reservoir after a night out with friends.

The second half of the film follows the investigations of Yoojin, a female detective officer into the suicide of Sohee after her body is found as well as reinvestigations of Junho’s suicide, which further details Human and Net’s violation of labour laws on their workers to drive up sales as well as Sohee’s high school’s irresponsible choices of externship placements for their students to meet an employment rate. Throughout the investigations, the human and net and the school’s management constantly blamed Sohee for her suicide, citing that she was undisciplined and had temper issues. Yoojin tries to take legal action against these institutions for their actions leading up to Sohee’s suicide, but is constantly reprimanded by her own superior to let go of the case as it is causing them trouble. The movie ends with Yoojin tearfully watching an old video recording of Sohee practicing a dance routine in a studio, which was the only video left on Sohee’s now-retrieved phone before she turned it off and committed suicide. It is unknown to the viewers whether the human and net or the school ultimately changed their unsafe practices following the suicide of Sohee.
