jump out of my world

A good film about growth, talent, hard work, dreams, reality, helplessness, and fatherly love. Billy Elliot, a cute, handsome, stubborn little boy who uses his free, random dance moves to convey his thoughts and emotions - Sorta feels good. Sorta stiff and that, but once I get going... then I like, forget everything. And... sorta disappear. Sorta disappear. Like I feel a change in my whole body. And I've got this fire in my body. I'm just there. Flyin' ike a bird. Like electricity . Yeah, like electricity. That's the word, that's the feeling.
No fancy movie skills, no gorgeous sound effects, just the most basic elements of a movie - a simple but thought-provoking story, honest and practical actors, and just the right musical foil. Just these, but can earn enough tears. The first half of the film is straightforward, explains the background, and introduces the difficult situation at home. What can be separated from this is Billy's joy in discovering his hobby. Ballet dance group. "Although I like ballet, I'm not a sissy, and I'm not gay..." While enjoying the feeling of ballet, Billy insisted on being himself as sincerely as his mother hoped. Exchange real thoughts with teachers, cherish and treat friends with tolerance, and stubbornly show your love for dance in front of your father. Billy has courage.
In the second half of the film, the intensification of contradictions unfolds: the collision between the helpless reality of the family and the lofty dream, the helplessness of the father and the sadness of fulfilling his children. Although it is only a supporting role, the silent father still expresses his feelings incisively and vividly. Not to mention the rich music. Because of Billy's ballet dream, a large part of the background music of the film is symphonic instruments, and because of the modern background of the film, the passionate rock also intervenes. The free Billy glides between classical and modern, only dance steps. , the world seems to have disappeared.
Everyone is a special talent waiting to come out, and the trick is to find it. At the end of the film, Billy Elliot took a leap on the stage and took off his dream, like a swan, flying above his gorgeous sky.

    Debbie was immersed in the budding love of Girls' Generation, and the small wooden stick in her hand casually slid across the wall, but it was not a wall, but a shield that the police were waiting for to suppress the strike. There were two other children fighting with pillows, one after the other on the bed, Debbie poking the wary, provocative fingers of Billy's face as the feathers fluttered. And the little boy Michael stared into Belgium's blurred, melancholy eyes. The mutual support between relatives in the cold and hard life also moved me very much, but these details are where this film is higher than those American-style warm and inspirational high-profile films in the top 250.

    In a sense, this movie has always existed for me as a chicken soup for the soul. When I am happy or down, I will turn it over and over again...sometimes, I shouldn’t complain about my bad luck and do everything. No, if you really make up your mind to accomplish one thing, the whole world will unite to help you. ★★★★★
