from small town to London

Rating: 10/10 (9 August 2002)

This touching story, not only talked about Billy achieved what he want, but also lead his family have a chance to change their class. In one scene, Billy's father told his son that he never went to London, Billy asked why? Father told him,"Because London have no coal mine." I remembered Billy's reply is "Oh, come on!" Billy's father never went to big city or other place, just live in his small town all his life. If not for Billy, he wouldn't leave awhile and see what looks like in London. To tell the truth, coal miner is really an out of date job and not only one job, there are many kinds of job disappear or appear and we must go on to learn new things or get the fate of being selected. The sadness of His father & brother is, they couldn't do nothing but coal miner. They have no choice so their rage show on strike, however, it's fail so all workers back to work and get real.
