Billy Elliot

This is a UK film about a young boy, Billy, wanting to be a ballet dancer but his father and older brother don't approve of it. This is a cliche story about doing what your parents want you to do and doing what you want to do. The movie was pretty funny but i wouldn't recommend watching to anyone. Unless your into girly dancing movies.
Somethings that were different about America and UK from what we seen in the movie is the way there neighborhoods are structured. In the movie the neighborhood is kind of like a maze, it is really tight together and it seems like there are houses on houses on houses. I think it looked really cool. Everyone in the movie seemed to be poor and everyone was on strike from mining.
After Billy's father finds out that he is dancing he gets really angered and tells Billy that he can no longer dance. When billy's father sees that he is actually good at dancing then he approves of Billy and lets him go to a dancing school. He even gives up on his strike to afford it.
The movie shows that the family is really close because at the end the brother accepts what Billy does and goes and watches his Black Swan play.
