Anybody here see Kes (1969)?

[XanaDUer2]

An abused working- class yorkshire boy, bullied at home and school, takes a kestral as a pet and trains him?

Spoiler

The ending is super sad. I'm not sure I'm up to it emotionally

1. No, and thanks for the head's up. I don't like super sad things

especially those involving animals, such as "Old Yeller" and "The Yearling." I will never, ever see "Kes."

3. Me either

I really want to see it, but I'm not sure I'm up to it

2. Loved it

I was about the same age as the protagonist and feeling horribly alienated by my growing realization of being gay. The movie spoke to me in ways no-one else could know.

4. Thank you

5. Saw it a few years ago on TCM. I'd like to see it again, actually.

6. It's voted one of the best British films ever

I really want to see it. But, I don't deal with sad-animal movies. Thanks for reading.

I think it's on Tubi

8. It's on Freevee but not Tubi

9. I may have seen it years ago

It looks fantastic. I love birds, especially birds of prey. Adding it to my queue. Thanks for the heads up. It's rated 7.9 on IMDb, which is quite high!
