dream

Life is actually like this movie, fate is a process of choice. But he also told us that if we hadn't met the lonely teacher who was good at discovering talents and persistently cultivating them, if there had been no father's final transformation, if there had been no end to the general strike, and if there were no other reasons we couldn't see, He can't fly.
In fact, this is life. The great thing is that he can't control it by himself. The pain point is that others control too much.
Perhaps the poor in the world dream the most, because he wants too much, and the real dream is not money, but something that is most meaningful in his life. For example, the dream of the father and brother in the film is fairness and freedom. The father did not go to London because there are no mines in London, and the father finally went to London because his son performed there. The teacher's dream is the continuation and delivery of the ballet plot, although she also longs for the dream to burn and family harmony. The protagonist's dream is the kind that he doesn't understand himself. It seems that he doesn't know what he said during the exam. In fact, he really doesn't know. Think about our current life path, how many people will be like this until now? None of us know.
I did not see this film as an inspirational film. What I felt was more of an encounter, an encounter where the fate is not in our own hands, a pain that we cannot work hard.
Compared with the director's technique, it cannot be considered first-class, and the plot design in many places is slightly blunt and deliberate. The father's performance is not very good, he lacks inner strength, and the character design of his brother is slightly weak.
Movies that can make us feel something are good movies, and this one is not bad!

    Set against the background of social changes in 1984 when the old British industrial area declined, a story of a child chasing his dream of dancing. One side is the cynicism of adults, the other side is the inspirational growth of children, the other side is the despair of reality, and the other side is the hope of the future. The cross-editing under the two-line narrative forms a contrast and allows the script to develop along the ending. As a musical film, what attracts me most is the way that dance enhances the dramatic tension and enhances the emotional performance of the characters: the dance of joy with the dance teacher, the dance of anger under family disputes... He proved himself with two dances The talent: the dance of rebellion in front of the father, the dance of the soul in front of the judges... finally changed his own destiny. The favorite character here - the dance teacher - leaves firmly, just like the master chased away Sun Wukong.

    I think this film is good in everything, the script, the director, the actors, the acting, the photography, the editing, the music... the exhilaration of the working class to realize their dreams and the depression and pain that they can't fight for their entire lives. I love the British working class, I love the British young workers, and I love 2 Jamies (Tony & Billy)!
