Billy's family is the lowest level of miners in the UK. Like other low-level families, his father and brother participated in the union's strike to win more rights for the miners. At the beginning of the scene, Dad and brother will yell at the people who are compromising that they are betrayers. But later, when Dad realized that Billy might be a dancing genius, Dad also silently walked on the bus of the two betrayers... The scene of Dad's final collapse and pain left a deep impression on me... Dad is a very traditional miner man, The older brother has gone down the exact same path as his father, and he doesn't want his younger son to be them too, living a repetitive life. Dance symbolizes resistance and hope... Through his own love and hard work, Billy finally stood on the stage of life.
