"Billy Elliot" "Hometown" x "Initial Impulse" x "Departure". The heart-shaking key hidden in the story of a young ballet boy

The universal appeal of “the moment when an electric current bursts into your heart”

Each of the elements that color this film is extremely fascinating. The setting of a mining town is worth talking about as part of a bygone era, including its sadness, and the story of how a boy ballet dancer awakened to his passion is also sparkling. And when these elements are combined with each other, the power is doubled, and a great chemical reaction engulfs us. One of the most memorable scenes is when Billy, when asked "What does it feel like when you dance?", answers, "It's like an electric current is running through me."

At that moment, the viewer's heart resonates with an intense intensity. Surely everyone has had a moment or two when they feel an electric current like this that drives them through life. An encounter with a new world and values, experienced when you still don't know who you are. An unexpected talent awakens. Overcoming adversity and pushing open the door to destiny - the structure of this film can be said to be "Episode One" of life, filled with universality.

Although this film is a unique story about a boy who aims to become a ballet dancer, at its core is the "initial impulse of passion" that everyone can relate to. That's why, while the viewer can fully enjoy the story and characters depicted in the film, deep in their hearts they will feel an endless sympathy for the protagonist, who is still nobody, and they will be engulfed in the deep emotion of this film.

Some people see themselves in the film, while others think of their children from the perspective of a parent. The older you get, the more diverse your perspective becomes, and the way you enjoy "Billy Elliot" changes each time. That's also a big part of the film's appeal, and it's probably why it will continue to shine as a masterpiece.

"October Sky" is a masterpiece depicting the departure of a young man on a rocket.
