There is no exaggeration, sensationalism, exaggeration, ostentation... But it makes me feel sad and inexplicable.
A film from 40 years ago, in such a restrained and calm manner, told the theme of "love and loneliness" through a child’s perspective. Today, 40 years later, that kind of emotion makes people feel clean, pure and moving in this impetuous age. Because it is rare and rare.
The boy billy is lonely and lonely. Around him is the adult world of bullying and chaos. There is only one thing in his heart that is important-an eagle called kes, and he is taming it. Yes, it is "tamed" rather than "tamed." Billy in the movie said that "eagles cannot be tamed". He didn't want to possess it, he didn't want to reflect his own value by taming an eagle, he wanted to appreciate the magnificence of kes spreading its wings and flying, and to enjoy the time with it.
Billy, who has endured bullying and loneliness, knows in my heart that the most precious thing must not be vanity and self-possession, that is the true "love". When it comes to the theme of "taming", I can't help but think of "The Little Prince", the relationship between the fox and the little prince. After watching the movie that day, someone talked about what the fox told the little prince in "The Little Prince": The really important things are invisible to the naked eye.
Yes, we use our selfishness and stupidity to ignore the beauty and purity that we can't see!
Ken Roach was very restrained when filming this movie, there was no deliberately exaggerated theatrical effect, no obvious emotional amplification, everything was just talking about it. Behind the humorous realism and social innuendo, the expression is only the simplest thoughts. If it were not for a clean and sensitive heart, it would be impossible to shoot such a great work, no matter how ups and downs of Ken Roach's works, because of "kes", he must have an extraordinary status.
What impressed me was the teacher who made friends with Billy in the movie. In the whole movie, he is the only character who makes people feel warm, giving the whole sad-tone movie a glimmer of hope. Even in this age, teachers like those in movies are still rare treasures. Adults always use adult logic to guess children, and children are eventually "tamed" by adults, far away from the beginning. How self-righteous is our adult world to ignore the childlike innocence in front of us?
I'm really fortunate to see this movie. In the past few days after watching the movie, I can still think of the scenes in the movie from time to time, and I am moved by it. This is probably the most admirable and admirable part of art, but it is just a contrast to the present, but I often experience the sadness of the movie. Except for the cold world, we can't even find such a movie.
The knowledge is too shallow, and there are too many movies that I haven't seen. And when I was fortunate enough to see a really good work, I was moved, grateful, and hoped that more people could see and read it, so I wrote these simple texts and I hope to recommend these excellent "beautiful".
