Just because I like ballet doesn't mean I'm a poof, you know.

Billy Elliot was a totally amazing movie. No wonder it was up for THREE Oscars.



It was so uplifting! I honestly even teared up at a few parts (and I'm not a very sentimental person!) Wow, the story was all based an a 11 year old boy wanting to dance; more specifically ballet. I figured, ballet? Ick no way! But I gave the movie a chance, and boy am I glad I did!



Jamie Bell who played the role of young Billy Elliot was so extraordinary! What an amazing kid actor he was! AND what a dancer he is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW! Sooo good! I have nothing but good things to say about this movie.



PLUS, Julie Walters who is Molly Weasley from the Harry Potter movies is in it! SAWEEEEEET!



The other phenomenal thing about this movie was the MUSIC, man it was soooo exciting and jazzy, all mingled with the struggle of coal miners strike. Gosh! So good!
