Because an eagle intends to live in my ventricle for a week

So please allow me to stay in your room for an hour, because an eagle intends to live in my ventricle for a week. If you accept me, I am happy to become the image you want.
(Nishikawa's "Eagle's Words")

This unpretentious film is an important work in British film history. Almost in the style of a documentary, survived through a child's gray roughness, caring for the social reality of the British proletariat in the 1960s. There is a desire projection relationship between the boy and Kitty. The eagle is also the mirror of the boy's soul, a silent flight of forbearance and arrogance. The domestication of the little eagle by the boy has formed a strong counterpoint to the way society, family, and school treat boys.

    1. Non-professional actor, semi-documentary style, real scene in the Northern Industrial Zone. 2. For a moment, Ken Lodge was possessed by Kaurismaki, and I was in a trance. 3. Supplement of knowledge. 01:43:45, the only emptiness is the only powerlessness, and the gleam of life disappears. 01:50:03, life and death.

    1. Ken Roche's realism film (his second feature film), with a strong taste of Dickens, at this time, he was not as stubborn as after. 2. The photography is very good, especially NB, the focus is a bit soft. 3. Working class life, social problems, old leftists, "I don't want to go to the mine", so sad. Of course, Uncle Ken’s best film is "In the Name of the Motherland" in 1995.
