Looking at the poster and the title "Dancing Life", I knew it was about a little boy learning ballet. Boys who love to dance learn ballet and encounter the biggest difficulties as one can imagine. Middle-aged aunt-style folk dance teacher enlightenment, single-parent family father and brother opposed (the two are miners, working in a coal mine that is not operating well, and the strike is in full swing), and the secret love of gay classmates. Finally, participated in the interview of the Royal Academy of Ballet and was admitted.
Traditional story, eh. Where did it hit?
Billy didn't say a word, raised his chest, and danced in front of his father almost tearfully to prove himself; when the female teacher learned that Billy was enrolled, she calmly said to him "you will forget me", and silently returned to the classroom. , she smokes a cigarette, and the light through the surrounding smoke outlines her lonely silhouette; Billy (not gay) bids farewell to the little boy and kisses him back before leaving home; Billy becomes the male lead of Swan Lake many years later, jumping out The glorious leap of life.
