Billy Elliot--Find And Stick To What You Truly Like
I originally wanted to title it "Dance Out of My Life, Carp Leaps from the Dragon's Gate", but now I found out that the names of the two films were mixed up. Could it be that they were translated by the same person? It's like a couplet... I don’t know if you are also confused like this. What you like is not necessarily a major that you can choose. If a person can do the job that he has always...

It's a movie that I will remember for a long time
Then dance, dance, dance, dance, as if forgetting everything, as if a fire was burning in your chest, as a free bird, as an electric current.
The stubborn little boy is dancing, depressed, angry, kicking happily, swinging his arms, spinning, but full of emotion and vitality.
Every character is good and beautiful.
Weird little boys and girls, hazy feelings, just awakened age. Adults who don't leave their hands and grandma who are unconscious, middle-aged and old, hearts and...

I've always felt that identity politics under political correctness is hypocritical, but I haven't been able to find the exact reason, and now I may have some clues. Under political correctness, new gender/orientation nouns and various appellations with LGBTQ….etc were invented. And strictly require people to use these new nouns. This is done so that people always identify others in terms of their sexuality/orientation. But "identity" itself is complex, our appearance,...

Youth is throbbing, eager to express and express.
Dance is elegant and enthusiastic, carrying dreams and life.
There are not a few movies that describe adolescent children, but there are very few that are truly lifelike and amazing. Because this is a delicate age, with sensitive and delicate moods. If you simply use an adult's eyes to capture these details, it will become cliché if the depiction...

Not a film review, just casual | What is talent
Due to the limited number of words in the short review, I will briefly talk about it here in the long review.
I think this film can explain what talent is very well. The daughter of a ballet teacher, Debbie, is as precocious and sensitive as Billy, but Debbie is not concerned about ballet itself. She is more likely to learn ballet because of her mother. She doesn't have much love for ballet, but the point she cares about is whether Billy is fancy or not. It can be said that it is the...

Inspirational elements alone, this film is only enough for four stars. But the background of the times (the miners' strike in 1984), and the performance of the protagonist's father made this film a...

The clips of ballet practice and strike scenes and home situations are good, but the climax is not prominent. That Mike is a typical Zhang Can, and little Mike is so fucking handsome, he is very attractive to...

What does it feel like to have sex? At first, there was no feeling, and the body even stiffened. Slowly, there seemed to be a fire burning in the heart, and the whole person gradually disappeared, leaving only the current. The happiness of living in a peak experience is completely unimaginable. A touching movie, especially when Billy's father devotes everything to his son after smashing his dead wife's piano with a hammer. In a world of despair, the warmth of family love saves a...

What touched me the most was my father. In my hometown, there was a neighbor girl who had a talent for long-distance running since she was a child. Unfortunately, she dropped out of school after only running to junior high school, went home to farm, and then got married. I don't know how many gifted children in China are killed by their father's ignorance and...

What a strange thing. This film has many attractions for me, dance, Xiao Zhengtai, plot, and performance. But seeing that it was tepid at the end, my heartstrings were only plucked a few times when I recalled a certain scene, and the rest had no major...
Debbie: If you want, I'll show you me fanny.
Billy: Nah. You're all right.
Mr. Braithwaite: You look like a right wanker to me, son.
Mrs. Wilkinson: This'll sound strange, Billy, but for some time now I've been thinkin' of the Royal Ballet School.
Billy: Aren't you a bit old, miss?
Mrs. Wilkinson: No, not me... you! I'm the bloody teacher!
