If you were to ask me how much I love movies, I'd probably falter like Billy Elliot, so much so that one wonders if little Billy and I are good dragons.
I may be Lord Ye, but Billy is definitely not.
From the beginning of the film, a Glam Rock (glam rock) is enough to prove little Billy's dedication to "finding dancing shoes".
I danced myself out of the womb.
(I danced out of the womb)
Is it strange to dance so soon?
(Is it weird to dance so early?)
Glam rock, as an odd member of the rock family, became popular in the UK in the mid-1970s. The band members tended to be dressed up in so much make-up that critics speculated that it was a bunch of iconoclastic transvestites.
Billy is such a boy. When his father sent him to learn boxing, he was full of curiosity about a group of "little swans" dancing ballet next to the boxing ring.
The hormonal impulse of puberty made him curious about the opposite sex?
Billy is a transvestite, a little boy who sends Zihe the wrong gender?
The director denied the above two answers through the appearance of two auxiliary characters.
Billy is just pure love for dancing, like glam rock music boys, who want to enrich art, subvert tradition, and vent rebellion with weird and alternative costumes and soft styles, not as the world thinks: this is a group of Love exposed transvestites!
Billy's dance teacher's daughter is a precocious girl and one of those "little swans". When she makes good friends to Billy, Billy treats her as his friend, not the love object that a lustful adult wants to have.
He just loves dancing, not looking for a little girlfriend in the "swans".
Billy has a close friend and they go to school together, play games together, and share secrets together. When Billy told a friend he liked dancing, but wouldn't he look like an idiot if he put on ballet shoes and danced with the girls. My friend Michael suddenly and solemnly replied: I think you'd look wicked. (I think it will look good.)
Michael is a child of the wrong gender given by the goddess of fate. He thinks that Billy, who loves dancing, is the same as him, so Michael wants to sublimate their friendship.
But Billy just loves dancing, and Michael is just his best friend.
Only girls can go to ballet, boys should go to boxing, kicking, wrestling. This kind of concept has almost become a consensus. I remember that in Gu Changwei's "Li Chun" there was a dance teacher who danced ballet, and finally drowned in the prejudiced spittle stars.
Billy lived in a very poor family environment. His mother died, his father and brother were caught in a nationwide miners strike, and his grandmother was infirm and in need of care. As an oppressed person at the bottom, the father is more stubborn and prejudiced in his ideology. When he sees his youngest son learning to dance behind the girl, he is naturally angry.
Billy's role is different from the forbearance, silent and hard-working strugglers in traditional inspirational films. He also had doubts, secretly stole ballet books in the mobile library, and looked for men who skipped ballet in history; he also had conflicts, Under the severe questioning of his father and brother, he could only leave in anger, dancing frantically on the road and in the alleys; he also had obsessions, and was found by his father in the stadium on Christmas Eve, dancing ballet with Michael in a skirt, Billy simply In front of his father, he sincerely offered a dance and moved the stubborn old miners.
Little Billy's character is very full in the film. When he participated in the selection of the Royal Ballet School, he thought that he was not selected, and he was so depressed that he fought with others; when talking with adults, Billy was completely like a precocious boy; Billy's fragrant personality is evident when he says goodbye to his bully brother.
Fairy tales always talk about a magical pair of dancing shoes that anyone would keep jumping in, maybe Billy was wearing them and he never regretted wearing them.
