Please introduce the film "The Child and the Eagle".

Focus: film expression

British director ken loach is called "the most important director in the new realism". He pays attention to riff-raff with a slow and restrained lens, and briefly talks about Children and the Eagle (1969) as an example.

An inescapable fate. In 1960s and 1970s, the livelihood of British towns was coal mining, and absenteeism became a profession handed down from generation to generation. Little Billy's father and brother are absent from work, and he will be absent from work without accident. Even the school teachers think that the children here will be in the mine in the future. Heavy physical labor makes exhausted people have no time to take care of their own hearts, and even less care about the next generation. Therefore, Billy, who lacked family warmth, was content to run for his life until he met an eagle.

Man and nature. Modern industry endows people with rich materials, but makes people's spirit even more scarce, but nature is always feeding back life. For example, Billy's brother is rude, Billy's family relationship is alienated, and Billy grows up in loneliness and confusion, which also reflects the spiritual picture of the rascal under the background of the times. When Billy tamed a wandering eagle, he first experienced the mutual appreciation of life. When he performed eagle training in front of his classmates, he first realized the feeling of being respected and valued. It can be said that in the process of contact with nature, little Billy realized the meaning of life.

A calm and objective narrative. Rocky's camera rhythm is restrained and not sensational. He quietly recorded the ups and downs of the boy's fate in this small town with his camera. Just as the audience was happy that Billy, who was lonely and weak, had found a "bosom friend", he used the money in the lottery to buy food for the eagle, which made his brother miss the grand prize. The angry brother cut off the eagle's hand and cut off Billy's hope. The story came to an abrupt end, and the light in Billy's eyes gradually disappeared into the darkness.

Film expression. There are a thousand hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people. The most shocking thing about this movie is the little boy Billy's understanding of eagles. For example, he said, "eagles can't be tamed, they are just manipulated." "They are violent and wild by nature, and they are not afraid of anyone or me. This is the greatest place. " The audience seems to be watching the relationship between man and nature, the omnipotent human limit and the success and frustration of living with Billy.

Growing up in loneliness, tasting the taste of life in tempering, perhaps confused, more helpless, this is the life of the little boy Billy.
