While Gece is on the wait for the attack day, she stays at a flat where the organization arranges for her.Gradually, she starts to have feelings for Yusuf (Murat Ünalmis),the son of the concierge. Though she knows that the relationship can have no future, she still can't keep herself away from him. While the movie questions the act of vengeance and implies the notion that "ideologies somehow,someday die but love prevails" it does not really question the ideology. By juxtaposing the 80's revolutionary militants who lost their lives for their ideology and today's revolutionary militants who try to grapple with the modern day capitalism, the movie does not really achieve its purpose.In the first half,it sounds like it's so partisan that it glorifies the actions of left-wing militants but in the second half it sounds like it's so simple and naive that in today's world left-wing gangs fight for no noble purpose.It's more like saying: "Give up on this stuff.Go home,make love!" As a cinema viewer, I am not sure where the movie stands and which half we should take credit for.Still,we should not be surprised by the fact the movie does not exactly focus on one thing because, the screen play writer of this movie Mahsun Kirmizigül always does this. An example? Think about Günesi Gördüm (I saw the Sun). While we were thinking we would see a harrowing movie about lives broken asunder by the ethnic PKK terror we saw an unnecessary,stopgap transsexual subtext which could have been the subject of a different movie. We don't know how the director went along with all this but The Wings of The Night is just a damp squib,another resounding flop about one of our notorious coup d'etats.
