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.
Yup . Gary Lewis WAS this movie. Outstanding performance - all of it worked because of his portrayal of this exhausted , broken, resilient, brave , loving character.
Thank you for pointing this out. I always don’t see the best actors because they’re so believable, I forget - they don’t “shine”, they’re so real, plain & ordinary, just like real life. And, yes, I could see just by the small slo-mo clip that this dancer was extraordinary. I would love to see an entire performance. I have not seen this movie. I’m sort of intrigued, now, after seeing his boyhood performance before his Dad, then the audition scene, and now, this…
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.
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.
I think the film was to portray how Billy achieved his dream and the difficulties as a boy in a poor family and a father who changed his mind to allow his son to follow his dream got to go to the Royal Ballet School , and the ending to prove he succeeded. A beautiful ending. The film needed nothing more than that
My father was a miner from Seaham harbour, Dawden Pit. On one of his visits to Australia I took him to see Billy Elliot in Sydney. Not joking…. It only took him 5mins to start crying… and he cried all the way through the performance. The cast crew got to know he was there and treated him like royalty. After the show we went backstage to meet cast and crew. He cried all the way through that as well.
Such a great film. Having watched this ballet live, how incredibly hard the dancers have to keep super fit and toned, no easy task. The music takes you to another world and the male dancers are so magnificent especially 🎉🎉🎉
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!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️
Nunca dejaré de apreciar está última escena (aunque todo el film y actuaciones., libreto son excelentes) pero está escena transmitió todas las emociones de un padre que superó muchos tabúes sobretodo en ese tiempo, para darle la libertad y el apoyo que necesitaba si hijo. El hijo lograr culminar un sueño superando también lo que en ésa época era difícil aceptar. Excelente película todo y todos.
Buscare el libro debo leerlos, soy de habla en español pero me gusta traducir los comentarios y en encontré el tuyo. Lo buscaré espero poder obtenerlo. Gracias 😊😊😊
Adam cooper was tremendous in the closing scene of a masterpiece based on the memories of lee hall,a screenwriter when he was growing up in newcastle during the 1984 mining strikes.
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.
Hermosa Película siempre la recordamos con Cariño y Gratitud por lo que implica a mi Familia mis hijos Queridos y su Mamá procurando lo mejor para Ellos 😢😂😊
Como me encantó tanto la película, como la obra de teatro que se presentó en México con Manolo Fábregas, que era magnífico para los musicales y su mensaje es hermoso . ❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
Adam Cooper..Un Immense Géant.🥰😍😍🥰😍⭐⭐⭐⭐Un Génie.Personne ne peut l'égaler en 2024. J'étais là dans ses Revues et Représentations. Le Lac Des Cygnes c'est très compliqués.
A .i siempre me emocionacomo lo salva el padre,que espanto hubiera sido que no lo ayudara con su vocacion y sus sueños.Hermosa pelicula y hermosa la escena final del lago de los cisnes!!!.
Esse filme foi maravilhoso, amei 😍 de paixão 😍❤️❤️ Tenho o dvd e ainda assisto até hoje 👏👏👏👏👏👏 tudo está ao seu alcance, basta ir em frente que vc consegue !!! O pai dele foi extraordinário entendendo seu filho, filme brilhante ❤❤👏👏👏👏👏👏
Une Grande Médaille et Deux Oscars t'attends!. Mon Ami est au Bolchoï en Russie/Suisse/States et en France. Danser sur Le Lac des Cygnes..C'est très compliqué et Très Dur.
That final scene with Billy as the adult dancer is one of the greatest scenes in a movie.
Absolutely. I cannot stop the chills even after hundreds of views.
@@Kate-lk6twI am crying now. Superb.
It makes me shiver and I want more!
Esa escena siempre atrapa mi corazón.
He visto varias veces la película y en esa escena siempre se me saltan las lagrimas 🥲

I am watching it nearly every day;. Thrilling.

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.
Every time.
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.

@JaniceCole1950, I absolutely agree. On this one occasion ‘less is more’ ❤

The love of the father and the commitment of the son to full fill his dreams is what makes this movie great.
Exacto y aparte el final me eriza siempre que lo veo 😊
This is exactly the story of what being a father is all about. Great movie!
Such an emotional ending. Has me in a flood of tearst❤his dad is so proud of him
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.
Such a great film. Having watched this ballet live, how incredibly hard the dancers have to keep super fit and toned, no easy task.
The music takes you to another world and the male dancers are so magnificent especially 🎉🎉🎉
from the dirt and grime and sweat of the colliery to the beauty of the music and grace of the dance - great film
I can watch the scenes of this movie over and over. Every time, I get emotionally again. ❤

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
I have watched this too many times to count & I still cry! Beautiful ❤
영화도 좋았지만 책으로 읽으니 인물 한명 한명이 입체감 있게 다시 살아나는 것 같아요. 영상 고맙습니다.

Vu et revu avec toujours autant de plaisir et la larme à l'œil
J'espère que vous arrêterez de vous sentir triste maintenant.
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.
