A story about a dream. Talent, hard work, chance, and success is the norm for this type of film, and so is this one. But there is something special about this film. The boy's dance teacher, while teaching boys, learns the true meaning of dance - not just a job to make ends meet - it makes people happy and makes people forget everything. It was because of this that the boy was finally admitted to the London Academy of Dance. Another point is the movingly great fatherly love. The father doesn't earn much, but he is willing to spend money to let the child learn boxing, hoping that he will become a real man, but in the end the child likes ballet, which he thinks is a sissy, a hobby that does not belong to his class at all, but finally accepts it , and support the son. In addition, the strikes throughout the play were prepared for later, when father and brother bowed down to life for Billy's future and had to resume work. When the father gave up the strike, sat on the factory car, and accepted the humiliation of the striking workers, while his eldest son was in the excited protest crowd, it is not difficult to realize what kind of difficult sacrifice the father made.
A great movie is inseparable from a great actor. The male protagonist is like born for this film, with the inherent shyness and sensitivity of British boys, and uses passionate body language to describe his dreams.
Good story structure, accurate grasp of emotions, interlacing of main and auxiliary lines, appropriate performance of actors, processing of film music, and contrast of light and shadow make this film one of the iconic films.
