Title: On Being Different
Review: A young lad decides he likes ballet better than boxing. This does not sit well with his father, a very macho man who works in the mines. And what we have is-- in the best sense of the word-- an extremely "sweet" movie. On the eve of Father's Day, this is a great movie to celebrate fathers for Billy's father grows and changes and come to appreciate his son's great talent. Anyone who has known the pangs associated with being different and not fitting in can relate to this fine movie.I have seen this movie again and again. The poignant ending still makes my eyes water.What makes this movie even more meaningful is that it is based on a real little boy's experience. Additionally, I read recently that for the first time ever the Royal Ballet has more young men enrolled than young girls and all because of this great little movie.If you haven't seen this gem, go rent it today. Or better still, purchase it. You'll want to see it again and again.
