The movie started with a horse
giving a birth to a fowl. It was a great moment so far until they had to sell
the fowl to the auction. Ted Narracott, the owner of the fowl didn’t want to
sell it to the mayor, the Lyons. Even though Ted Narracott would have to figure
out another way to pay for his rent in order for his family to live. So at the
end of the auction, he bought his own fowl with 30 guineas. He got home with
the fowl and his wife, Rosey, was mad at home for losing 30 guineas instead of
getting money to pay for their rent. But instead his son, Albert was so happy
because he really fancy the fowl and he promised his mother that he can teach
the fowl to plough the land. After a few days, Albert taught him so many things
and he finally came up with a name for the fowl, Joey. But soon, the Lyons
asked the Narracotts for their money, but then in the moment of desperation,
they begged the Lyons to give them more time to complete the money to pay for
their rent. Ted was so frustrated that he’d kill his own fowl that he bought
for 30 guineas, but then Rosey and Albert stopped him and Rosey stopped him
from drinking. The day after that, Albert and Joey have succeeded on doing the
land. And soon Albert learned more about his father through Rosey, that his father
was a hero, not just for the country, but also for the family and himself, he
felt bad for killing people for years and he drank because he wanted to forget
about the memory so bad. But the day after that, Albert couldn’t find Joey in
the barn, and it was the day when England was preparing for the war. Albert ran
long enough to find the fowl and he found him being sold to a person in the
military, it was hard for Albert to let him leave at first, but then the person
from the military promised that he’d take a good care of him. After a few days,
it was the day where the war begun, England wasn’t prepared enough and the
person from the military died, leaving Joey, himself running and he get
caught by the Germans, rivals of the English people.
The movie has taught me for showing
more empathy, the Lyons might not be the best people, but they gave the
Narracotts more time to pay for their rent. The movie gave a good a outline of
friendship, Albert couldn’t let Joey go at first and real friends wouldn’t let each
other go after what they’ve been through, the movie also taught me to not give
up at any circumstances, just like when Albert kept on cheering for Joey and he
kept on doing the land until he hurt his legs. There were so many scenes that
taught me for being loyal. Like when Rosey told Ted that she could hate him,
but then she couldn’t love him less, that means she’s accepting him in any
ways, even though they don’t have any more money and Ted is stubborn and a
drinker. Albert also promised Joey that he’d look after him after the war has
ended. The movie also taught me about trust. Albert trusted Joey so much that
he thought that Joey can help his family with paying the rent, it doesn’t mean
that he’s not thinking logically, but he thinks positively, but yet logical.
