Billy Elliot

  • Great but for the boom

    I live in NY but I am originally from England. I knew policemen and I knew coal miners, and this film really tugged at my heart strings to see how Billy's family were divided by the strike. Father against brother, brother against brother. It was a true depiction of the British Governments "divide and conquer" policy in action. When Billy's father had to burn his dead wife's piano to have heat for Christmas, only to sit there sobbing while it burned, my heart yearned. This was a story of escapism, something like that of Educating Rita or Shirley Valantine. I liked it a lot. It had a subtle comment on gender bending and sexual identity from a child's point of view, without being uncomfortable, which is unusual. Jamie Bell was excellent and so was Julie Walters.

    My only problem with the film was a scene where Walters and Bell were in a gym talking and a boom microphone dropped into the shot about ten inches. It happened again later on in the movie and I couldn't believe it. The film was shot so well and then a boom mic comes into view and gets through the editing process. Apart from that, I give it. 8 out of 10

  • What a dream of a movie

    This is one of my favorite movies and it aggravates me that it's the kind of movie that always seems to slip through the cracks. In other words, nobody watched it. It's hilariously funny and yet the public in general don't either get it or find it funny. I not only laughed a lot but found the acting to be excellent. Buscemi's performance of a Indi' film director going through the rigors of dealing with inept film crew, egotistical actor's, in-crew relationships and not to mention a certain dwarf with a major chip on his shoulder. If you are a film buff and know a little more than most about movie's rent it. 10 out of 9

  • This would have made a great radio piece?

    I kind of liked this flic'. It's one of those movies that you catch whilst flicking through the movie channels and you see and actor you like and say, I'll give this a chance.

    This is a movie that involves lies, gambling debt, abortion, gunpoint muggings and heartbreak, but not at one point will you become exited, mainly because the film is flat. Every shot is one dimensional and maybe the writer, who is also the director should stick to just writing.

    I am sure that this is a really good screenplay to read because I enjoyed the dialogue very much. I would also think that this is the reason that there was such a well known cast. It would have made a great piece for radio. Out of ten I would have to go with a five.
