A little dark and real video

I watched an English film, and the British accent is relatively heavy, which affects understanding a bit. This is a realist film with a bit of political significance. Billy, a boy with no father, only a toiling mother and a gruff older brother, has to get up early to do odd jobs, pick up thieves, and go to school. In the 1960s, British schools were strict, they could punish students with their palms, and football teachers could deliberately punish students. It's changed now, but at any time, elementary and middle school students can't resist the teacher's orders. What is warm in the film is the intimate attachment and interaction between Kes, the eagle that Billy raised and domesticated, and him, like a fresh wind. The encouragement and protection of one of his teachers also added a touch of humanity to such a campus. The young actor who played Billy told the story of Eagle vividly in class, which was impressive.

    Rewatching it, I don't know if it's because of the sound in the auditorium, but I think the music is a little too harsh. Uncle Ken is really good at digging out male protagonists, and I like each one to the extreme. The football paragraph is highlighted, the uncle really loves (black) football from the bottom of his heart. There is nothing wrong with it.

    Working-class spokesperson Ken Lodge always finds the best metaphor for social contradictions. Cows, mosques, and the eagle in this film are spiritual and arrogant beings that cannot be kept as pets. I wonder if the British films of the 1970s and 1980s exaggerated and stigmatized school education, creating a strong opposition to the desire to fly freely, while also easily perfecting the necessary dramatic conflict. In this regard, Ken Rocky has never do better than others
