From the time the boy adopted the eagle, it became clear that this eagle had a dead end, because a small person like this could not have a beloved thing, and they could not control their own destiny. Take a look at the people around the boy he portrayed, his unprotected mother, his stupid and indifferent brother, and the principal who doesn’t understand education. Only the teacher of literature class can have a glimmer of hope to be his guide. From his open-minded attitude, The way of education can be seen. The conversation between the boy and him also made people start to learn more about this absent-minded and taciturn child. The boy is clever and intelligent, and he actually understands his environment very well. However, the calm Ken Loach didn't let the guideman play any role, only showing the helplessness of reality. I guessed whether the boy would cry, but he didn't. Ken Loach was so calm that he was horrible. As a result, the boy’s sweaty hair, dark hands, and wrinkled expression were frozen in his mind, together with many teenagers: Anton Wan in "Four Hundreds", the golden voice in "The Cowherd Class", The younger brother in ``Little Runaways''...
(Not long after watching this movie, I found Ken Loach's handprints on the side of the corridor in Cannes.)

    In childhood, I was carefree. Domestic violence and bullying, loneliness and rebellion. Young eagles accompany them and play happily. The falcon taming explained, with high spirits. Teacher encourages and rekindles vitality. The old man is violent and wants to break his wings. Buried loved ones, childhood gone. A social cage, imprisoning children.

    @EnglishMasterShow found that Kenlodge only showed his realist story without commenting, this natural and bland ending was particularly evident. In fact, from the football scene (which is expected to be one of my annual movie viewing moments), it can be seen that this country has not changed much after 50 years. In addition to stealing milk and taking pictures on the street, Casper's dialogue in the employment office is also very similar to Antoine's last dialogue scene. Perhaps in Kenloch's view, employment centers and juvenile correctional institutions can also form a kind of Interact. My favorite is the scene where Casper tells the story of raising eagles on the podium. When children talk about their favorite things, their eyes will slowly light up.
