Born with a Talent

Rating: 10/10 (26 May 2006)

Billy Elliot, a young boy discovers his passion for dancing in an English mining community that expects boys to behave like men all the time and perceives that ballet is only for females and gay men. The boy doesn't realize his talent without the help of his teacher Mrs. Wilkinson who sees him as a potential ballet dancer in the future, and believes that working in the mines like his father and brother will kill his dream. A delightful comedy with Billy's grandmother who still dreams that she can always be a professional dancer despite the circumstances that have forced her to live in that community, so it's her fate which she cannot escape. It's a great movie with lots of beautiful and unforgettable moments between Billy and his family and friends.
