The power to penetrate history

I am more and more in love with films without plot, and the power of fighting cattle across the mountain. A whole era of depression and struggle has shrunk to a mining town. Despair and unwillingness concentrated on a powerless teenager. No matter how hard he ran, he still couldn't get out of the circle of class, and the eagle, who had a little hope, also ended in death.

With the photography technology at that time, it was possible to follow the teenager up and down, and the vitality was broken through the long lens. The local accent with a strong accent will consume brain energy to understand at first, but with this dirty mining town and sloppy teenagers, the texture is great!

The juvenile's cunning, self-preserving, bad tendencies, real and unpretentious, underscores the extreme joy in his falconry training—even if the close-up is not much, but his body language can tell. Especially in the classroom, he is usually useless, but when he talks about the details of his training, his eyes are bright, and he even speaks loudly, completely reborn.

The heaviness of the entire era, penetrating 50 years of history, still makes people palpitate - as a film, I can't find a better word of praise than this!
