I have huge praise for the actor Gary Lewis who played Billy Elliot's father - in this theatre scene in particular - where he truly looks as if he's absolutely overcome with emotion and has been crying his eyes out. He's a great actor. And much praise also for the dancer Adam Cooper for his role in Swan Lake. I saw the production of Swan Lake live with him in it and it was one of the most wonderful and memorable experiences of my life.
That heart stopping moment, that leap, not just for Billy, but his dad finally seeing and loving what Billy has done, against all odds. I love the film, the soundtrack , t red so right but that ending,, that leap is so worth waiting for , absolutely brilliant. Congratulations to the director, all who contributed to this super film.
How does a young prodigy dance as a grown man that had little measurable skill, but acres of passion? There really isn't an answer to that, Billy could have evolved his craft in many different ways. Who do they give the role as Billy to narrow down his talents to? The point is that showing him as the Swan on the big stage confirms that he developed into an elite dancer. The ending was powerful because each person watching can use their own imagination as to what dancer young Billy became.
La mejor película para mi, aún viendo cortos me emmociona hasta las lágrimas, tiene todo Amor, fortaleza, sacrificio, unión de una gran familia, y el éxito absoluto de Billy, la escena final de él prácticamente volando y el gesto de su padre ahogado por la emoción , es inigualable!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️
Anyone giving people who think male dancers are "Nancy boys" one second of thought are wasting what precious time you have on this earth. As someone who grew up training as an elite athlete my whole childhood (not dancing, but doing it 6+ hours a day) we knew that dancers are every bit, if not more, the athlete any of us were.
@@2charliep Oh yes. I agree. I didn't mean it to be mean. Sorry if it came off that way. I never thought you thought they were (if that makes sense, lol). Have a good day!
Wonderful film.. Male ballet dancers are to be applauded. It is really irritating, in this day and age, that people still think that way. I have a leaflet, many years ago, showing a photograph of the sublime Ivan Vasiliev holding the equally sublime Natalia Osipova in the air.. at an unbelievable angle (Don Quixote) ... unsurpassed.
That is a father who doesn't understand his son...but who does *LOVE* his son. And when he finally *gets* that his son wants above all else to dance, to be a dancer...he is willing to set aside his pride to do what his son *needs* from his father: To support him in any way he can.

Such a beautiful, sweet movie. The ending when the father gasps makes me cry every time.
And then every time the tears start a little sooner in anticipation of the gasp.
WOW~
Brings tears to my eyes every time. The ending is so powerful. He's so solid ..so contained in himself. Like nothing I've ever seen.
This is exactly the story of what being a father is all about. Great movie!
Great movie. I just wished they'd shown more of Billy dancing as a grown man.

Same here. I was disappointed that all we got to see of Billy’s dancing as an adult was that one magnificent leap.

No matter how many times I watch the ending, I still get goosebumps. ❤
I am watching it nearly every day;. Thrilling.
La he visto repetidas veces y siempre m emociona profundamente.... ❤❤❤❤
The love of the father and the commitment of the son to full fill his dreams is what makes this movie great.
I adore this movie. The boys love of dance, finding himself, and the changes in the father
Saw this movie in a small theatre downtown Manhattan when it first came out. What a stunning success for a low-budget film.
I can watch the scenes of this movie over and over. Every time, I get emotionally again. ❤
Two of my kids are dancers - I love this movie so much! ❤

One of my favorite movies. So beautiful and fills my heart ❤️
The adult Billy Elliott in Swan Lakescene has such presence, wow
Adam Cooper. A real ballet star. The version of 'Swan Lake' they excerpt there was filmed for TV, with him in the role. Unforgettable.
Cry Every time!
Thought it was Matthew Bourne, oops my bad
De lo mejor en tiempos contemporáneos ❤❤
Tears
No matter how many times I see this film.
Maria's voice is incomparable! Loved her voice and talent for a long time.
I love this movie, thank you for posting this
Lo guarderei volentieri anche tutti i giorni. Bellissimo film
Anyone thinking male dancers are “Nancy boys” or whatever, should try lifting a full grown woman high in the air, and then make it look effortless.

@@purselmer5931 I never said I thought they were, but some people still do and given the context of the film it was a reasonable comment.

영화도 좋았지만 책으로 읽으니 인물 한명 한명이 입체감 있게 다시 살아나는 것 같아요. 영상 고맙습니다.
