    The ending scene of Billy Elliott is just so wonderful. You see how all the other male ballet dancers are in awe of the grown up Billy and how much they respect his talent.

    Yes Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake is an all male cast and the end scene of Billy Elliot where he's grown up I think is actually a shot of the lead swan in this production of Swan lake, Adam Cooper.

    • @ML-xh6rd
      @ML-xh6rd 4 роки тому +50

      I'd always wondered who played the grown up Billy. Although his part is small his scene is the climax of the movie and when you see his leap at the end you know his dancing dream is realized and he is able to share his "electricity" with the audience. Powerful, beautiful and moving.

    • @isobelramsey9767

      It's not all male, but all the swans are male, yes.

    • @iainbullock4519

Es ist mir als Mutter und Großmutter eine Herzensangelegenheit allen Familien aus welcher Kultur auch immer abstammend,gebt euren Söhnen und Enkel die Möglichkeit sich selber ausdrücken zu dürfen ,in welchem Beruf oder Hobby auch immer. Es gibt begnadete Talente die nichts mit dem Geschlecht zu tun haben. Nur so kann unser Herz und unsere Seele zur tiefsten Entfaltung gelangen. Der Film:" Billy Elliot" zeigt uns wie widersinnig alte verstaubte Moralvorstellungen (Geschlechterrollen) einen in seinem erblühen behindern können. Wir sollten lernen unsere Kinder ihre eigene Zukunft leben zu lassen und dann kommen solche wunderschöne Auftritte dabei hervor 😁💐❤️‍🔥( lass dein Herz für etwas brennen!)🌟✨💫🦢🦢🦢🦢🦢🦢🦢🦢🦢🎆

      @jordimartinez4295 7 років тому +10

      I think in the final of Billy Elliot it turns out that he takes the role of the swan at Matthew Bourne's swan lake, which is a new version of the traditional ballet. there are some videos of the entire ballet on youtube

    • @jordsupp
      @jordsupp 7 років тому +31

      Somewhat...the final scene in Billy Elliott does not appear in the actual choreography of this (or any) production Swan Lake. However, having Adam Cooper play the grownup Billy Elliott, limbering up in the wings, quietly focussing, and then leaping onstage in that climactic burst of music was a perfectly spine-tingling finale to the movie.

    • @tomeratomera5608
      @tomeratomera5608 6 років тому +11

      Of course! The great ballet dancer Adam Cooper performs the ending scene of Billy Elliot (the movie). And yes, on those few moments of that final scene, where Billy's father is watching his son's debut, they were certainly choreographed by Mattew Bourne, following his own version of Swan Lake. I recommend you watching Adam Cooper's performance of it. Awesome.
