Billy Elliot

«Inside every one of us is a special talent waiting to come out. The trick is finding it»
This movie tells us a story of is about an one 11-year-old guy, whose life has been was forever changed one day. At the first sight/At first, the plot looks pretty simple and even platitudinous. A boy from a godforsaken town, where people have almost nothing to do, has a big dream of being a ballet-dancer, but due to many obstacles it seems impossible to come true/it seems unlikely that it will happen. However, his faith helps him to achieve the goal, and finally he becomes a successful dancer.
This all may sound familiar. Here one may say that we all have already read “Great Expectations” by Dickens as well as seen all screen adaptations of the story of Cinderella. The story is familiar, indeed, but director Stephen Daldry and writer Lee Hall tell it so persuasively, and it's truly awesome. So even if you are tired of all these fluffy/romanticised stories, “Billy Elliot” still will be an inspirational one. Because it’s mainly about difficult human relations, generation gaps and stereotypes rather than a simple tale of “from rags to riches”. It’s definitely not what you would expect. The narration isn’t as sweet as in many Hollywood productions. It’s a bit melancholic, serious and depressing, but still inspirational and so impressive.
This film makes a child deep inside every of us wake up/This film wakes up our inner child, together with all our forgotten childish dreams and ambitions. As if to say to you that everyone used to be Billy Elliot, but most of us gave up our childhood dreams. Billy is a strong and brave boy, who lost his mother many years ago and is brought up by his strict father and older brother. They want Billy to be a real man so treat him in a slightly rude way and become extremely mad when they suddenly find out that Billy has taken up dance classes instead of boxing. They demand Billy to forget about all this girlish stuff. But he doesn’t. He continues dancing way without fear. I guess here is the main message of the story that Billy realizes it’s only he who can decide what to do with his own life, nobody else. We live only once/We only live once, and we won’t have another chance, so everyone should be strong enough to change his life to make his dreams come true, without fears or prejudice.
Another important thing that was shown there is the importance of support. Well, let’s admit it, everyone needs it. Maybe it is one of the precious thing that we give to our close friends and family. Just to give them a helping hand in anything they do, and accept them in the way they are.
