Film Description: Brassed Off meets My Name Is Joe in this gritty coming-of-age drama about a young son of a poor English coal miner who dreams of being a ballet dancer. The film is set during a 1984 miners' strike in Durham county, where angry clashes between picketers and cops in riot gear are nearly daily occurrences. Among the most vociferous protestors are Tony (Jamie Driven) and his dad (Gary Lewis), who nags his youngest son Billy (Jamie Bell) into taking boxing classes. Though the kid can do some fancy footwork, he can't take a punch. One day at the gym, he notices a ballet class taught by hard-bitten Mrs. Wilkinson (Julie Walters), whose young daughter dares him to join. When his father gets wind of this less-than-manly pursuit, he pulls him from the class. Sensing a raw and natural talent, Mrs. Wilkinson offers to teach the lad for free in preparation for the local auditions to the Royal Ballet School. When Tony gets in trouble with the cops, Billy is forced to miss the trials, leading to a confrontation between Billy's pop and Ms. Wilkinson. Though at first he steadfastly refuses to consider his son's desires of going into ballet, he comes to realize that this might be the one shot that Billy has in order to escape the danger and grinding tedium of a miner's life, so he sets out to earn the money by any means necessary to send his son to London. This film is the directorial debut of renowned British stage director Stephen Daldry.

Makes me cry every time.

[MultiPurdy]

Dad's intending to break the strike to earn money to help Billy and return to work much to his older son's dismay. Dad says 'he's only a boy, we're finished, let's give the boy a chance'. Strike breaking was a serious business when the government took on the miners. Billy's dad wants something better for Billy and for him to have a future.

Very sad scene. I will never support a trade union as long as I live.

[hogalog]

@1878EFC2008 its true enough. 2 of the pits up here closed immediately when the strike finished because it was going to be to expensive to make them safe again after a year without maintenance, the rest had lost their customers.

@hogalog

Well that's bollocks. 

[lgu05144]

power hungry fucking unions!

[BoarischerBavarian]

i'm crying. everytime.

[ERODEROD37]

Breaks my heart everytime I see it.

[myklstarr]

The emotions in this movie are overwhelming...It has to be one of the best movies ever made and one of the best stories ever told....

[calvinandhobbes12312]

what a beautiful and heart touching movie

[hogalog]

@MultiPurdy the sad bit is, and im sunderland born and county durham bred, but the strike brought about thing they all feared.... had they just told scargill to fuck off and went into work, the durham pits would almost all still be going now. hindsight is a wonderful thing!
