I'm sure a lot of people have seen the movie of Billie Elliot, but I am ashamed to say that I watch it for the first time last night (thanks to Netflix). I cried a lot, which is normal for me. Its such a beautiful story about family, dream, and finding what makes you happy. The emotions are amazing. The hardships of the time and place that it is set and just the journey of Billie himself makes it a compelling watch. Then there is the dancing. There is this awkward boy dancing his heart out, kicking his heels at the world. Makes me wish I could dance more. Of course, being poor me, I have not seen the musical version of the movie yet either. I hear it is amazing and I'm sure that it is. I've heard the music and it is very good.
What the movie really got me thinking about is my own dreams, my dream of being an actress and writer. If I could have half of the determination of Billie in that movie, I wonder where I would be. I guess I need to kick myself in my butt and get myself going...
