It's not just about a boy who wants to dance ballet

After the two world wars, the biggest impact for Britain was the miners' strike in 1984. From March 1984 to March 1985, tens of thousands of miners left the mines where they worked for a lifetime under the leadership of the UK's most powerful Mining Workers Union at the time, and joined the resistance to the free marketization of mines. Of the strike. This should also be regarded as the best representative of the title of Mrs. Thatcher's Iron Lady. The year-long strike ended in failure. The Conservative Party conveyed a message to all mining workers living in the north of England with its firm attitude. The message, the government is always tough. To some extent, this is similar to the student strikes and demonstrations in the previous period. And 15 years after the strike had subsided, a movie quietly awakened the hearts of those who were once injured. No one has ever asked why these resolute northern men finally chose to go to the mine instead of continuing to resist, or maybe this is a tacit understanding that does not require strictness and is for the children. On a cold winter day in northern England, in the movie Billy's father used an axe to chop the piano left by his wife, but because of the protracted strike, the family has no money to buy firewood. But there are more billy, and cities further north... The

most moving scenes in the movie are all related to the father. The first time he saw his son might be a dancing genius Furiously rushing to the dance teacher’s house, the father chopped down the piano at home for Christmas. The father ran to the union center with excitement when he learned that his son had been admitted. When the father and Billy went to the Royal Ballet School for an interview, they were asked if there was any. What's the problem when I look awkward, when Billy said that if I regret it, I can still come back, my father said, are you kidding me? We have rented out your house, and many years later my father was touched when he saw Billy jump up as the star of Swan Lake. This is how the image of a man in the north of England should be. He will always keep his chest straight and never say a gentle word, but he will sacrifice everything for his children at the most critical moment.

In 2005, after the film was changed into a musical, it brought infinite touch to the West End of London~ Numerous awards, numerous TV broadcasts, 5 years later, Billy Elliot is already in London, New York, Toronto, Melbourne Performed in four places~ It is undeniable that Elton John, G, is indeed a genius, and the musicals he changed should be said to be more than the movie itself to some extent. Some of the songs should be said to be too accurate~

The Stars Look Down (the first act)

Billy
Take me up and hold me gently
Raise me up and hold me high
Through the nights under darkness
Will come a day when we will fly
And although we've been rejected
And although we've been outcast
We will find a new tomorrow
When we come to rest at last
And we will stand there proudly
And we will never walk alone
And we will be returned
Back to our home

Grandma's Song（ Act III)

I hated the sod-for thirty three year
We should never have married of that I'm quite clear
He spent the housekeeping money on whisky and beer
And never lifted a finger
Times were hard, but the swine rolled back pissed
So we'd fight and he'd swing and he rarely missed
So I'd clobber the sod when he couldn't resist:
Asleep, you can't life a finger.

But we'd go dancing...and he'd hold me tight
He was air, He was water, He was breath, He was light
And he would hold me there, with all his might.

And it was bliss for an hour or so
But then they called time to go
And in the morning we were sober.


The Letter (Billy and mother's section)

And I will have missed you growing,
And I'll have missed you crying
And I'll have missed you laugh
Missed your stomping and your shouting,
I'll have missed telling you off,
But please Billy,
Know that I was always there.
I was with you through everything.
And please, Billy... ..

But please, Billy
know that I will always be.
Proud to have known you.
Proud that you were mine
Proud in everything
And you must promise me this, Billy

In everything you do
Always be yourself, Billy
And you always will be true

Merry Christmas, Maggie Thatcher (opening of the second half)
is the best commemoration of the Thatcher era. The sadness in joy, the

Electricity that I can’t understand by just reading the words (my favorite scene)
ORIGINAL LONDON RECORDINGS is by Liam Mower, The first three Billys played the youngest billy recording

I can't really explain it
I haven't got the words
It's a feeling that you can't control
I suppose it's like forgetting, losing who you are
And at the same time something makes you whole
It's like that there is music playing in your ear
And I'm listening, and I'm listening and then I disappear

And then I feel a change
Like a fire deep inside
Something bursting me wide open, impossible to hide
And suddenly I'm flying,flying like a bird
Like electricity , electricity
Sparks inside of me
And I'm free, I'm free

In the economic depression, what is needed is inspirational characters, but behind every sensible character is a bitter family and a sad story. There is a scene in the movie. The dance teacher asked Billy to bring her own things to practice. Billy brought a letter his mother wrote to him before she died. After reading it, the dance teacher said something that an adult would say, she must have been a special woman, and billy said, no she's just me mum
