Kes (Loach, 1969)

Kes (Loach, 1969) Cast: David Bradley - Billy Casper Freddie Fletcher - Jud Lynne Perrie - Mrs. Casper Colin Welland - Mr. Farthing Brian Glover - Mr. Sugden Based on the novel "A Kestrel for a Knave," by Barry Hines. *** AMG Summary: In this 1969 Ken Loach film, a 15-year-old named Billy Casper suffers abuse both at home and at school in Yorkshire, England. At his home in the working-class section of Barnsley, Billy's brother beats him and his family neglects him. At school, most of his teachers ridicule and reject him, especially sadistic Mr. Sugden. Like other downtrodden children in an outmoded social system favoring the ruling class, Billy appears headed for a menial job with no future. Consequently, he has no motivation and nothing to look forward to, until the day he finds a kestrel -- a European falcon with the ability to hover against strong wind. The bird, a fledgling, is akin to the boy, who must withstand winds of his own. It is not surprising, therefore, that Billy finds meaning in befriending and caring for the baby kestrel. He raises, nurtures, and trains the falcon, whom he calls "Kes." Its development gives him hope that he too will one day develop, that he too will gain the skills to fly against the wind. Upon the urging of a sympathetic teacher, Mr. Farthing Colin Welland, Billy even summons the courage to take the falcon to school to educate his unfriendly classmates about falconry. Will Billy eventually rise above the repression and privation of his home life and social life? The answers to these questions appear to lie in the fate of the falcon. *** Name.........: Ken Loach - Kes (1969).avi Filesize.....: 693 MB (or 709,976 KB or 727,015,424 bytes) Runtime......: 01:46:35 (159,866 fr) Video Codec..: XviD Video Bitrate: 818 kb/s Audio Codec..: 0x0055(MP3) ID'd as MPEG-1 Layer 3 Audio Bitrate: 83 kb/s, monophonic VBR Frame Size...: 544x320 (1.70:1) [=17:10] Given the film's usage of realistic and pretty thick Mancunian accents, optional English subtitles are supplied in the folder.
