From the time the boy adopted the eagle, it became clear that this eagle had a dead end, because a small person like this could not have a beloved thing, and they could not control their own destiny. Take a look at the people around the boy he portrayed, his unprotected mother, his stupid and indifferent brother, and the principal who doesn’t understand education. Only the teacher of literature class can have a glimmer of hope to be his guide. From his open-minded attitude, The way of education can be seen. The conversation between the boy and him also made people start to learn more about this absent-minded and taciturn child. The boy is clever and intelligent, and he actually understands his environment very well. However, the calm Ken Loach didn't let the guideman play any role, only showing the helplessness of reality. I guessed whether the boy would cry, but he didn't. Ken Loach was so calm that he was horrible. As a result, the boy’s sweaty hair, dark hands, and wrinkled expression were frozen in his mind, together with many teenagers: Anton Wan in "Four Hundreds", the golden voice in "The Cowherd Class", The younger brother in ``Little Runaways''...
(Not long after watching this movie, I found Ken Loach's handprints on the side of the corridor in Cannes.)

    Distorted family relations and rude school education killed his childhood. When he withdrew from human society, he obtained salvation from getting along with a young eagle. Animals are always innocent, full of respect, and far cuter than humans. He saw metaphors about life and ideals in the eagle. However, the story ends in tragedy, and the eagle died at the hands of his disgusted brother. He buried its body, just as he buried his own childhood.

    A rough glimpse of life from the bottom, documentary-style shooting and unplayed actor performance, presented sharply and sharply without any filters at all, choosing between a real "fact" and a fictional "fiction". In a more naturalistic realism, behind Casper's dirty, embarrassing, and disgusting, stands the class barriers that are unavoidable and insurmountable for generations of high-level bottom and mining families. It's more profound than Black's strength decades later. The relationship between the boy and the eagle is the only part of hope. The statement that the eagle has always been proud and untamable applies to the body and soul that have been disciplined and punished by human nature for thousands of years.
