Carry everyone's dreams

Little Billy jumped onto the big stage in London with all his dreams of changing fate. In such a hopeless, dying town, no one has hope. Whether it is the miners at the bottom, or the seemingly comfortable middle class. Little Billy's family is a representative of the bottom class, while the teacher's family is a middle-class family, and everyone has no hope for life. At this time, little Billy appeared. His talent and inspiration first touched the sensitive dance teacher...Although he encountered all kinds of resistance, when the dull father and brother really discovered his talent, even the whole child The people in the town are cheering for them... He is a child, with hope, the child leads the adult’s dream of changing destiny...
I think this is the core idea of ​​this movie. The strong tearing points in the middle of the movie represent several turns of fate... When Little Billy recites the letter left by her deceased mother to the teacher, the teacher said: She must be an amazing woman, Little Billy replied: She is just me Mom... Little Billy and the teacher talked back for the first time, and the teacher slapped him, and then they hugged and wept... When the father saw his son dance excitedly on Christmas Eve... The father did it for the younger son. And when he betrayed the strike team and hugged and cried with his eldest son... Every time these tear gas bombs hit, the protagonist’s fate changed... In fact, when the little Billy received the admission notice, the story was over... But for In the end, people left the cinema in shock and excitement, plus the performance of the Royal Theatre, plus Billy's brilliant leap into the sky.
I like the little supporting actors the most, the precocious daughter of the dance teacher... Billy’s gay friend who likes to cross-dress (the kid looks so beautiful after the cross-dress), and the one who always stands on the wall in front of Billy’s house. Little girl (I don't know why she always stayed there, but I think I really would have such a girl when I was a kid)...
The part that I don't like is connected with the strike, the kind of conflict and confrontation...it seems to be a metaphor...but I really don't see it. I always think it’s a bit far-fetched to be associated with a strike... But it doesn’t matter in the future. A strike exists like a set, as if people were born on strike... But when the father was excited to tell everyone the good news that his son was admitted, he went on strike. The news of the end made everyone feel disappointed (the only victory of this strike was probably that Billy was admitted to the Royal Ballet Academy). Before the end, the son got on the car to the Royal Academy of Dance, while the father and brother sank deep underground in the ore body...
