Billy Elliot

Rating: Null/10 (23 March 2007)

Billy Elliot - film review The film is about a boy - Billy - whose greatest dream is to become a famous dancer but his problem is that the male part of his family, his father Jackie and his brother Tony, are against the boy's dream. Both of them want him to become a strong boxer instead of a "girly-like" dancer.
The film shows how important it is to follow your intuition and dreams in life instead of listening to other people's pretensions about you! As well as Billy does, people should pay more attention to what their heart says. To follow the passions and affectations in our lives, because if we don't we'll become that kind of emotional-crippled-being that Billy's father was before he discovered that it's more useful to stand behind Billy instead of blocking his way to success and felicity. We have to see that people who are reaching for their dreams are people which should be admired, not adjudged.
Completing I would recommend the film to people who're interested in some kind of unusual film makings, aside the commercial "Hollywood-film-making. Also you have to be able to look behind the shallow actions of the film to see what the actors try to express with their deeds and words! Maybe it's not just about seeing what the actors try to say but the people surrounding you, sharing some parts of your life.
