Billy Elliot

Films sometimes open our vision to what is possible for our lives.
I will introduce "Billy Elliot"which was made in Scotland in 2000. Billy Elliot is the hero's name. He is 11 years old, and the scene of this movie is set in 1984. In those days almost labors who lived in countryside thought ballet a woman’s field. They tended to hate “sissys”.

Billy’s father and his older brother also had the same opinion and they wanted Billy to become a strong man, so Billy learned boxing.

However one day Billy participated in Ballet class. At first Billy thought it is really strange for a man to play ballet, but he was absorbed in it. He began to feel that dancing was fun. He continued to go to ballet class without saying about it to his family.

He decided to take the examination to enter the Royal Ballet School in London. Unfortunatelly, at that time, labor started to strike. It lasted for a long time. Billy's family became poor, but his father continued to pay fee without knowing that this fee was canged for the fee of ballet.

On Christmas Day, by accident Billy's father noticed the fact. Of course he got angry but at the same time he also noticed Billy's great ability and passion for ballet. Then Billy's family began to help Billy. He passed the examination and finally he became the ballet dancer.

In the last scene, Adam Cooper, who is a famouse ballet dancer in the world, played as a 25 years old Billy Elliot. Everytime I see it, I cry and think that a person who trys or does something with passion is cool and attractive.

There are many famouse T-Rex's songs. He is a God of Rock. Have you ever listened to his songs? They are very enagetic. T-Rex song and Billy Elliot are simillar.
