Dancing life is beautiful

Full of moving, in the film I feel the most freedom and blooming, and I even have the urge to dance with Billy, which makes people feel that dancing life is really beautiful. But it also made me compare Eastern and Western values, because I thought about my own fate and that of countless others my age. I sometimes wonder what would happen to me in a different educational setting?
Under the same environment, if Billy grew up in China, the results may be completely different. Chinese people are mostly collective consciousness, while foreign countries are more deeply in the exploration of personal value. First of all, Billy's mother, she is undoubtedly a great mother. She is extraordinary in her pursuit of personal life, and she is also the gene she gave Billy to dance and pursue. Although she only appeared briefly in Billy's fantasies and letters to Billy, her words to "be true to yourself" are enough to peek into Billy's character. Although Billy's father is traditional, he supports him without hesitation after he understands his child's potential, because as long as his child may have that talent, he will never give up. So, when I saw the part where DAD went back to work to raise money for Billy, I cried. In terms of performance, the conflict in the political environment and the expression of personal breakthroughs give the film a deeper meaning. Overall, it's a good movie that makes people reflect on and yearn for life.
