I purchased it, and started it with an open mind. I was pulled in right away! It was a tale of a boy in a gritty, tough, motherless household, with rather strong father and older brother influences. Billy is a real kid, trying to survive, trying to win dad and big brothers attention, and realizes he just isn't going to do it. I was really impressed with the story around Billy....his family, the strike, school, all the things going on in his life. He was trying to be a boxer to please his dad. He wasn't into it, and wasn't good. When he found ballet, he approached it from a very powerful, athletic view, and didn't seem the boy one would typically place in a "ballet boy" box. While he is not overly handsome, he is believable. He is caring and attractive, sensitive and wants to please, but can't. He wants to understand his dad and brother, but doesn't. He wants them to understand him, and they can't. The friendship with a gay classmate is wonderful. He really care about the boy, isn't actively pursuing him. He portrays a boy, being a boy, who also happens to be a good dancer. I guess, if you are looking for a young boy love story, this is not really it. If you are looking for a strong willed boy, fighting to survive and be himself, and winning in the end, this it is. I truly loved the movie more that I thought I would. It went a direction I wasn't expecting, but left loving the movie. I was really impressed with the passion of the young actor playing Billy. A really touching story, and it was great seeing his dad becoming more of a man by letting his son follow his heart, and letting him dance. Thank you for such a good, honest, heartwarming movie. I'm sure all will love it too! |
