"Kes" is considered to be one of the greatest works in British history
. The film is not a Hollywood-style sensational film, and the deep affection shown by the director Ken Loach in the film is not in the form of artificiality
. Ken Loach used primitive and rough documentary shooting techniques in the film to simply and directly show the unfortunate and tragic life of the little boy. It can be said that the film has the essence of Dickens
.
"Kes" has a strong critique of reality, which is quite different from other works shot by Ken Loach that describe life in the middle and lower classes of the city. The film has a smooth story and captures the sensitive psychological state of a teenager growing up. The emotional portrayal of Kes is particularly moving. In addition, there is a very creative part of the game that imitates the Manchester United football team.
.
Although the film explicitly or implicitly shows the decline and fall of British industrial towns, it does not deliberately present the poverty of the people at the bottom in a spectacle in front of the audience.
. The film vividly shows the life of the British lower class. Although there are not many scenes showing the falconry in the whole film, it reflects the tension between Billy and his brother, and between his brother and his mother, just like this— This atmosphere makes the relationship between Billy and Eagle appear particularly harmonious
