No spoilers ......for a lot of us our early years were hell. In the home and at school. Having read the book and seen the film as part of our English lessons I identified so much with "Casper"? , life was bleak. His only break from the relentless slog of his formative years and his future life "darn pit" ( if I recall ) was his training of a kestrel. Life is bleak .......this won't end well. Best scene as to be the football match Brian Glover steals the show.
