The most memorable: First, the family's feelings. Billy's mother died very early, leaving him to live with his brother, father, and grandmother. My father and my brother are miners. The family tone at the beginning of the film is quite heavy. My brother and my father are miners who took the lead in the strike and demanded better benefits from the labor union. When I first watched it, I felt that the family’s relationship could not be said to be alienating, but it was also Not very close. But the further the film goes, the family's strong emotions are gradually revealed. Dad discovers Billy's talent for dancing, and decides to give up his principles and his allies who are on strike, and go back to work in the mine because he wants to make money Billy went to learn ballet, and the painful scene of his brother hugging his father was really heartwarming and uncomfortable. Billy's dad is a dumb man who can't express in words, but his love for these two sons is conveyed to everyone in his actions. And later, he accompanied his son to the selection. After knowing that his son was admitted, he ran wildly to tell everyone that at the end of the film, I watched my son's performance, and I was so excited that I had to like this father. Dad's love is deep, they don't often use words to express their love for you, but the love is there, as long as the heart can feel the love all the time.
The second is Billy's love and persistence in ballet. At that time, all ballet dancers were girls, and the boys who danced ballet were called "gay", so in the film, Billy has always been quite sensitive to the word "gay". But his best friend is a "gay". I think that although Billy is not gay, his rejection from the beginning to the acceptance at the end can be seen from the film. During the audition, he hit another little boy and scolded, "You gay". When he was about to leave, he ran to his best friend, kissed him, and said goodbye with a smile. That dance Billy did in front of Dad on Christmas night brought tears to my eyes, it was so good. And in the audition, when they were leaving, the judge asked him: "How does it feel for you to dance?" He said, "I don't know, it's just that when I dance, I feel like everything around me doesn't exist, it's just me, dancing. When I feel like there is an electric current flowing through my whole body.” Super moved, when a person is doing something, he can forget everything around him, and there is a feeling of electric shock, that must be something you like to do.
The biggest inspiration from this film is that we all have our own dreams and characteristics, and we can create your own unique dream according to your own characteristics. Billy's ballet in the movie has no feminine feeling at all, but combines masculinity with male masculinity. He combines masculinity and ballet to create his own unique "ballet". We can also create our own "uniqueness" according to our own special interests and hobbies.
