Simply Inspiring

Rating: Null/10 (23 June 2003)

Possible spoilers ahead:
Billy Elliot is one of those films which just makes you feel good inside. It is not a mind-bogglingly amazing film, it's just simple and natural. It's a story for anyone who was ever told 'you can't do that!'
It's the story of a boy who wanted to dance because of the fire in his body - that he felt for dancing.
The ending is not trite or predictable as some say. It shows us Billy having realised his dream, the support of his family, and their pride at his now being the best in the business.
Like British films only can, it is natural and real, showing normal people who are like anyone you may know. It is not fast-paced, but takes its time, developing the story and characters.
Of course you know what will happen, it's just one of those kinds of films. And it's great because of it.
