TOKYO, JAPAN – Netflix’ newest movie not only seeks to entertain as it also sends a powerful message about bullying.

“Bright” is set in an alternate version of present-day Los Angeles, where humans live alongside supernatural beings like orcs, elves, and fairies.

The movie also marks the reunion of lead star Will Smith and director David Ayer, who last worked together in “Suicide Squad.”

Smith said he was able to experience “a very different social paradigm” in his role as Daryl Ward, a human police officer who is racist against orcs.

“The elves are at the top of society, they’re the rich people that have everything. And the orcs are at the bottom of society. They’re the people that everybody looks down on. So humans are in the middle,” he said in a press conference at The Ritz-Carlton in Tokyo.

“In playing [that role], I learned a lot, looking at the racial and class divides from that angle in a science-fiction film,” he added.

In “Bright,” Smith stars alongside Joel Edgerton, who takes on the role of the earnest orc cop Nick Jakoby.

Bullied all his life by humans, elves, and even his fellow orcs, Jakoby seeks to make a name for himself as a police officer and was tasked to work with Ward (Smith).

Edgerton hopes that through his character in “Bright,” he is able to represent “everybody who is judged, bullied, and mistreated when all they want is to be judged based on their actions and merits.”

“When I read the script… I was very hooked,” he said. “I became very much in love with the character of that orc who is bullied by everybody. I felt like the whole script was saying something about bullying en masse, like bullying other cultures, religions, and groups.”

Ayer, for his part, said he wanted to use “Bright” as “a great opportunity to make a movie with a message in it.”

“Bright” also stars Noomi Rapace and Lucy Fry, who portray the elves Tikka and Leilah, respectively.

The movie is available in Netflix worldwide.
