Billy Elliot
British director Stephen Daldry’s
directorial debut, which eloquently tells the uplifting story of a young boy
who endeavors to find his own identity in a working-class community where violence
and social unrest are the norm. To simply label this dramatic comedy as a film about
dancing is a grave misconception. Rather, dancing is a symbolic representation
of freedom, vitality and the courage needed to combat fear. Inspirational, heartfelt and
superbly acted. |
Billy Elliot
This British drama/comedy about a young boy's desire to be
a ballet dancer is funny, insightful and touching. While most of Hollywood seems to rely
on big-budget spectacles, usually with small effect, this gem wows its audience with fine
storytelling and thoroughly developed characters. A near-perfect movie. |
