The movie "Out of My World" is about the United Kingdom after two world wars, the mining workers joint strike, the male protagonist's father is one of them, impoverished he took his son to the Royal Ballet School to study; the poor male protagonist Billy's mother has long died, and his brother and father are very tired of miners. There is also a grandmother who has Alzheimer's disease. When you learn that you have been accepted, you are embarrassed and overwhelmed when answering the interviewer's questions. The inspirational story of the final step towards successfully completing your dreams.
When it comes to British cinema, it seems to be an inherent idea in memory, and the film is also made with an aristocratic atmosphere, elegance and wisdom. Unlike English literature films, "Out of My World" does not carry a hint of this style but is relatively appropriate to life.
If you don't watch the opening, you will give the illusion that this is an American movie, because a little boy is constantly dancing, full of Hollywood painting style, and desirable pastoral scenery, as if the story takes place in the suburbs of the United States.
The young actor who plays Billy may really be a natural acting talent, and the director selected him from more than 7,000 small actors. Although he does not have a good appearance, it is his unassuming appearance and slightly green appearance that make the whole movie add a lot of points, because as long as he dances, he is the brightest light on the whole stage, and this sense of contrast brings different surprises to the audience.
Good movies need a good script, and good movies and scripts need to show up at the right time. This film gave hope to the toiling British masses who were in economic depression at the time. Although he lives in poverty, he still has a backbone, and uses dance as an aid to make the whole story more full and rich.
Although the ending is obviously a happy ending, it actually just gives the audience a beautiful fantasy. And ironically ridiculed the hardships brought to people's lives by the society at that time, forming a sharp contrast; the happy ending was to leave a good impression on the public watching the movie, and encourage everyone to work hard to achieve the purpose of dreaming. Finally living up to expectations, Billy was admitted to a ballet school in London and began his counterattack life.
After watching the whole movie, it is impressive and worth mentioning that the little boy answered the interviewer's few words in the interview, "I didn't know that it was a good feeling to dance." Although I feel a little stiff, once I start dancing, then I like to forget everything. And also...... I almost disappeared, almost disappeared. I felt like my whole body had changed. I had a fire in my body, and I was there, flying like a bird. It's like being electrocuted, yeah, like electricity. Billy said that when he danced, it was as if he had a light in his eyes, as if he wanted to use his dance with the hope of those who cared about him, and the motivation to jump was "love".
Billy's father and brother's roles are also shaped just right, and Billy's father abandons the joint strike of mining workers in order to help him raise funds for the selection in Paris, and becomes a "traitor" to the workers' partners to start working again to make money. He did not hesitate to support his young son Billy when he saw that he had a talent for dancing. Although Billy's brother has a bad temper, sometimes reprimands Billy, it is not easy to express emotions, and when he finally says I Miss You, although Billy does not hear it, he already knows it in his heart.
Some people commented that the final ending would be better if left blank, which could give the audience more reverie; but Xiaobian believed that the ending was quite necessary, because in the environment at that time, a beautiful and touching ending could inspire the determination of many people at the bottom to yearn for beautiful things at that time, and even knew that it still affected every generation. Classics are always classics, and the director of this film did not use too many shooting techniques to show off, but used dragonfly-like details to move the audience.
