In Feng Junhao’s debut work [Kidnapping the Doorway Dog], in the eyes of the university lecturer Yuan Jun and the corridor manager who have stopped career, they represent the irony of life and the pet dogs of delicious food, but they are solitary or lost consolation to their owners; Similarly, in [Carla is a dog], the police and the second friend seem to be "just a dog" Kara, who is already an indispensable member of the second family, especially for himself. However, the thinking and emotions of Orientals always seem to be ambiguous about people and things. They only adhere to the original intention to a certain extent. The dog is replaced by a cat or another dog. This can also allow the adults in the two movies to pin their emotions and feel that they have been stripped of life. The fragmented meaning of being alive. However, for the inferiority boy Cusper, who lived in a dull industrial town in the 1970s in the UK, the eagle named Kes is the only vehicle for him to identify his identity as a teenager.
Before Kes became Kasper's inseparable friend, the director used a lot of "recording" strokes to describe the life track of this young man with a sad face that is not commensurate with his age. The economic downturn made the town’s residents worry about not being overwhelmed. He was often ignored in the eyes of his mother as he was in the stage of "young unsatisfactory". He might only realize that he was in this situation when he paid the income from the newspaper in January. The family where his father was absent, he made more contributions than his eldest son Zude, who didn’t want to be a miner, but was unable to change his life. Cusper). In school, the teacher who is more anxious than the students who expect the bell to ring sooner than the students, in a taunting warning tone telling the students that work is hard to find, they will only try to find the glory of the past through the children who are very different from their age. He often makes ridiculous actions that his teacher looks like, and he has repeatedly become the center of the whirlpool. On a certain weekend at midnight, he scolded Zude, who was drunk and returned with a bloodstain, and ran to the farm. He carefully picked Kes from the half-empty nest because he had seen the eagle soaring freely in the air, no matter how hard it is. To endure the daily life is only repeating the humiliating life. Training and flying Kes made him feel a certain power that will not be tamed, and restored to him the innocence and self-confidence that a child should have. This is because he thinks Kes is unique and different from the foxes, magpies and other wild animals he raised. The root cause.
In physical education class, Cusper, who was designated by the teacher as a goalkeeper, flipped through the door frame because of boredom, and made faces at the spectators when he was reprimanded. He was only a playful show to ordinary boys, but because of Kes’s rare happiness ( Here he shows the only smiling face in the film). In a certain English writing class, he even won the applause that his classmates and even the teacher had never given him because of the process of discovering, training, and releasing Kes, and attracted the teacher to see him in surprise. Speaking of releasing Kes for the first time, because he was worried that it would leave him, struggling to sleep and eat for several days, only to highlight the importance of Kes to him. If the story happened today, this English class that gave him a sense of self-confidence is likely to be the starting point for rewriting his life. It will end as a little hero that he has become a proud family and friend, and even all the residents of the town, but at that time , But it is only an occasional episode. What's more, he did not raise Kes as pets (animals in the West may have rights that are unimaginable or even considered incredible by many Easterners, but the most common mentality of global villagers to raise animals should be similar, and they love to see how flattered they are in front of them). I want to take advantage of its flying elegance that I temporarily control, and imagine that I can escape the school and work I don't like. But Kes will not be seen by anyone other than him as evidence of his juvenile status.
Zude asked Cusber to buy a horse for him. After consulting related people, he believed that the horse that Zude wanted to bet on could not win. He was happy to use the money to buy food for himself and Kes. Misfortune, the two began a game of chasing and fleeing. Knowing what Kes means to Cusber, Zude, who couldn’t find him everywhere, vented his anger, so he stretched out his black hand to Kes. At this time, Cusber was absent-minded and could provide him with mining and coal work. Talking to an agency official of Then he frantically searched for the despair that Kes had never seen. He took Kes's body and asked Zude for help from his mother. The only time he cried sadly in the film, which only added to the troubles of their lives. There is no warm picture where parents use the death of animals as the first lesson for their children to learn about death, only Zude's brutal beatings and mother's extremely impatient.
In Raymond Carver’s masterpiece "What are we talking about when we talk about love", there is a very sad description of human love, "If something happens to either of us, the other will be sad for a while. , You know, but soon, the one who is alive will run out and fall in love again, and soon there will be a new love. All these, all the love we talk about, is nothing but a memory, maybe even a memory Nor is it." This passage also applies to friendships between humans and animals, both in East and West. After being forced to become an adult, Kasper will remember whether Kes will only have vague memories. The audience can only imagine. What is certain is that he buried not only Kes's body but also a short-lived teenage identity.
