Billy Elliot

• 
  Billy Elliot takes boxing lessons at the local gym, but he isn't good at it. Mrs. Wilkinson shares the gym to teach ballet to little girls. Billy notices this, and soon starts taking ballet lessons. Billy's father finds out and promptly forbids him to continue. Of course, Billy continues in secret, practicing to his brother's T. Rex records and getting better each day. Mrs. Wilkinson thinks he is good enough to try out for the Royal Ballet Company, and encourages him to do so. However, Billy is still afraid of his father. It is not just a story about Billy, it is the story of his father. Dad is trying as hard as he can to raise his sons. His wife died, and he currently is out of work. He is dumbstruck by the fact that his son would rather take ballet than box. He has a very old-fashioned idea about what boys should do and what girls should do. But underneath it all, he still loves Billy dearly. The only element out of place in Billy Elliot is a small subplot about a gay boy hitting on Billy. Aldry and Hall handle it well but it seems a little too odd to belong in this one. (2000)
• This is a very simple story, but very worth watiching. You will see how much it is important not to give up a dream, the beautifulness of friendship, the love beteen san and father, cute romance, and so forth. One of the reasons why I like this story is the realisticness. Maybe you have already noticed that I don't tend to introduce famous "Hollywood movies," but some films showen in minitheaters. This is one of them. I want to tell you that they are lots of great films in minitheaters. Good movies are not only created in Hollywood! Anyway, Billy Elliot is great film. I want to see this film again.
