Wilkinson and his friend Michael, who is the same age as Billy and who found that he is possibly a gay. There are only two people in the whole town, who support him middle-aged ballet teacher Mrs. Billy is not but no one from his family except aged grandma want even heard about ballet. And second sounds even worse: all male ballet dancers are gays.
First one is that ballet for girls, not for boys (lads do football. Billy must fight for his choice, fight against his own family. So he attends those ballet classes instead the boxing and there is nothing surprising that after a few weeks his father suddenly finds out that Billy didn't attend boxing and worst of all he is attending the ballet classes. Billy is forced by his father to attend boxing classes and one day accidentally he see the girl ballet classes that occur in same room and he find ballet much more interesting than hated stupid boxing. He recently lost his mother and both his father and elder brother are striking coalminers. But all this is only a masterfully recreated background for main story of the title character, a twelve years old boy. There is a big coalminers strike in the town but it's easy to see that it's also the hopeless strike. Some simple but incredibly powerful scenes bring to us sad feeling of hopelessness and even despair. You can see all around a shadow of distress and even poverty.
The story occurs in a small coal-mining town in 1984 and there are signs of a severe depression all over the town.
Billy elliot 2000 movie#
Sometimes the movie is sad, sometimes it's funny but Stephen Daldry's work never leave you indifferent. The entire story and all the characters are completely believable and the atmosphere of small provincial town somewhere in North-Eastern England skillfully captured and transmitted to us. Director of the movie Stephen Daldry brought to us an exceptional, truly inspiring and moving, emotional and poignant movie. Billy Elliot in my opinion Billy Elliot is a brilliant movie, easily one of the best movies of the year and most likely of the current decade. From very first moments of the movie my eyes were riveted to the screen and when the movie ended feelings and emotions overflowed me. Also these British films have something to offer that you rarely can find in Hollywood movies: a charming heartwarming mixture of sweet and funny comedy and inspiring and touching drama. I heard that it should be very good or even excellent film and another reason for watching it was that I have seen several Working Title films before (About a Boy, Notting Hill, Love Actually, Four Weddings and a Funeral) and I found all of them much more sincere and emotional than average Hollywood products. I have been looking for Billy Elliot for more than two years.
