Billy Elliot – I Will Dance (2000)
65KBilly Elliot – I Will Dance: Directed by Stephen Daldry. With Jamie Bell, Jean Heywood, Jamie Draven, Gary Lewis. A talented young boy becomes torn between his unexpected love of dance and the disintegration of his family.
“I had seen the commercials and they emphasize the dancing aspect of the story which is great but there is so much more to this movie. It deals with death and it touches on Mens feelings of loss and what a Man is and even deals a bit with homosexuality. Theres not many times where I sit though the end credits anymore but I was mesmorized. I laughed in this movie and I cried too. The dance scenes were terrific too. The boy who played Billy should get an award hands down for this movie. I watched the emotion on his face and it was amazing. This is the best breakout performance by a young boy since haley Joel Osmant in Sixth Sense. I have to say I just loved Julie Walters too. Where has she been since Educating Rita. Inspite of the swear words this is a movie that families should see. Its hard to believe this gets an R rating and movies like Scary Movie get…only R ratings. I dont get it. Strange that two of my favorite recent movies are from the British…This and Croupier. Word to Hollywood, make more movies like this or at lease import more like this. Dont miss this one!”
