Because an eagle intends to live in my ventricle for a week

So please allow me to stay in your room for an hour, because an eagle intends to live in my ventricle for a week. If you accept me, I am happy to become the image you want.
(Nishikawa's "Eagle's Words")

This unpretentious film is an important work in British film history. Almost in the style of a documentary, survived through a child's gray roughness, caring for the social reality of the British proletariat in the 1960s. There is a desire projection relationship between the boy and Kitty. The eagle is also the mirror of the boy's soul, a silent flight of forbearance and arrogance. The domestication of the little eagle by the boy has formed a strong counterpoint to the way society, family, and school treat boys.

    Compared with the complete realism and realistic style in later works such as "I Am Black", this film has a lot of softening and emotional care under the background of the melodious soundtrack. It goes without saying that the observation of the bottom group, the concern for the growth of children, and the criticism of the campus environment. Gasper said he did not tame the eagle, and the eagle would not be tamed. But he really caught a falcon and trained it in a targeted manner. Before that, he stole this specialist book and came back to master the knowledge. The capture and rearing of wild animals is fundamentally a transfer of freedom from captivity. The school put shackles on Gasper, and Gaspar put shackles on the falcon again, which transferred not only the superficial feelings of foster care, but also the freedom. Gasper was not only saddened by the death of a falcon, but also reflected his hopeless future. It was cruel to hold a funeral for himself in advance.

    Eagles can't be tamed, they're not afraid of anyone, that's what makes life great. And many people, they just enjoy the pet's flattered look, just to satisfy their own desire for domination. The shots are not wordy, the dialogue is not 13, everything is natural, good film.
