Abstract
La crítica ha sido, por lo general, bastante dura con la, quizás, última película del cineasta británico Ken Loach y su guionista habitual, Paul Laverty. Su cine ha hecho siempre justicia al calificativo de “cine social”, pues nunca se apartó de estas nobles intenciones y la historia siempre le recordará como un artista comprometido con las causas de las clases obreras y los desfavorecidos. El viejo roble también lo es, la película responde a los intereses que marcan las directrices del cine de Loach a lo largo de una dilatada carrera; aunque tal vez lo que ha cambiado no sea Ken Loach que siempre busca hacer un cine de carne y hueso, identificable en sus posiciones críticas, sino los tiempos, las sensibilidades y los públicos.
Critics have generally been quite harsh on what is, perhaps, the latest film by British filmmaker Ken Loach and his regular screenwriter, Paul Laverty. His cinema has always lived up to the label of "social cinema", as he never departed from these noble intentions and history will always remember him as an artist committed to the causes of the working classes and the disadvantaged. The Old Oak Tree is too, the film responds to the interests that mark the guidelines of Loach's cinema throughout a long career; although perhaps what has changed is not Ken Loach who always seeks to make a cinema of flesh and blood, identifiable in his critical positions, but the times, the sensibilities and the audiences.
