hidden fall movement

At the 85th Oscars, the best picture was awarded to "Escape from Tehran", and the winner Ben Affleck was so excited, he said, "I stood on the stage 15 years ago, like a child overwhelmed... I thought I'll never come back here again... It doesn't matter how you got knocked down by life, because it was inevitable, what matters is that you have to get back up..."


The beginning of "Out of Me", A little boy is bouncing on the bed, and through the camera, we can see the joy of his jump to the top. His name is Billy Elliott.


Billy grew up in a family of miners, his father was a miner, his brother was also a miner, and he had a grandmother who dreamed of being a ballerina. Whenever Billy misses his mother who passed away unfortunately, he will play the piano left by his mother and revel in the notes in his mind. My father wanted Billy to learn boxing because it was a tradition in their family, however, Billy fell in love with ballet at first sight after a boxing class. He secretly learned ballet behind the back of his strict father, and even submitted his application for admission to the Royal Ballet Academy under the instigation of his dance teacher... The movie shows us Billy's firm dedication to ballet, while trying his best to show that he has dreams but dares not The tangle of wanton chases.


Another thread interspersed with Billy learning ballet is the miners' strike in which his father and brother participated. Because of his brother's arrest, Billy had to give up that interview and go to the police station. The quarrel after the showdown between the dance teacher and Billy's family eventually led to Billy's extremely emotional dance. He jumped from the wall of the toilet to the end of a road where rusted iron blocks blocked his way. A metaphor for the pedantic barrier between Billy's dream and himself.


Finally, on Christmas Eve, Billy, who was playing with his companions in the dance studio, saw his father who happened to arrive. The two looked at each other. Billy didn't say anything. He used a dance to express his passion for ballet. , according to what he said later in the interview, "I feel like an electric current." Perhaps it was this electric current that touched his father. As if he had learned the truth of the universe, he rushed to the home of the dance teacher who discovered Billy's talent.


The scene in the movie that touched me the most was when my father quit the strike team in order to raise school fees for Billy and returned to the mine. Facing the humiliation of the "scabs" who had been scolded by the strikers before, he remained silent. . This is a real man.


Going back to Affleck's testimonials, 15 years ago, he and Matt Damon won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for "Good Will Hunting." Many people have had the experience of reaching the peak of self-righteousness prematurely, but they have never figured out how to accept that fact, so they tried every means to maintain it, and they got into the gray grave.


At the end of the movie, when the famous Billy appeared and jumped high to the music of "Swan Lake", the picture was frozen before falling. A natural and smooth connection between two Billys: the genius and lucky Billy and the successful Billy.


The camera goes back to the beginning of the movie, when little Billy jumps on the bed, we see the excitement on Billy's face every time he jumps high, and the falling movement before and after the jump But it has been selectively forgotten, and that needs to be filled by ourselves. When we have our own Good Will Hunting, what usually fills in before Escape from Tehran? "Mandarin Duck Kidnappers"?

    When Billy asked her in Miss's car, "Do you like me?" I laughed, because I thought he would say that, but I didn't expect him to say that, woooo~~~

    The most touching thing is that the male protagonist’s father...for his son...even gave up his own principles...the same is true of thinking of his father...I want to cry...there is one The transition from summer to winter relying on the wall is very exciting...When the film is nearing the end...The departure of Billy Elliot and the silence of his brother and father as the elevator sinks into the ground form a strong contrast... Although Billy Elliot is gone...but life continues...the life of a poor miner has not been changed because of Billy's departure...Finally, Adam Cooper's jump freeze is really beautiful...

Billy Elliot quotes

  • Billy: Just because I like ballet doesn't mean I'm a poof, you know.

  • Mrs. Wilkinson: Find a place on that bloody wall and focus on that spot. Then whip your head 'round and come back to that spot. Prepare!
