Billy had to fight against many difficulties in his life and I think those facts maid him strong enough to face everything that could interfere with what he wanted to do. Besides this, he had talent and had a teacher who discovered and encoraged him to develop it.

According to the facts I have observed in the film but also taking into account daily and real life, I think Billy Elliot succeed in the end because a series of events were given and allowed him to accomplish his goals.

I think the main circumstance that makes Billy’s dream come true is his willpower, even though he is eleven, the child is really determined and know what he wants in life, not many children are like that, especially boys at that age.

Billy’s background and actual context have also influence on the possibilities of becoming a ballet dancer. On one hand the bond with his mother is so strong that has lasted even through death and gives him the strength and the security to go on, she is always there for him, she is in his mind, in his heart because he is not afraid of remember her as his father and brother really are.

On the other hand, the actual context provides Billy the definitive push. In first place, the miners’ strike makes Mrs. Wilkinson’s ballet and boxing classes converge in the same place, otherwise it would had been difficult for Billy meet a ballet teacher and take classes with her. Maybe Mrs. Wilkinson is not a conventional ballet teacher but this characteristic allows her to see the talent hidden inside Billy. She is also kind of rough but it just what the boy needs as he is impulsive and strong willed.

Finally, from my point of view, one of the most essential things that contribute to Billy’s success is his family support. Without it, without the changes within his father and his brother, Billy had never reached his dream. You can be really determined and sure about what you want to be, but if you are eleven there is not much you can do by your own without your parents’ approval, especially if you think about how young you have to be to do well in certain activities as ballet.

This film is about that, about how important is to support your children, your neighbors, your friends beyond the stereotypes you may have, because that is the way everyone can build a unique, individual and healthy identity which will make you happier and facilitate success in life.

I think he succes in the end because of Billy showed he really was interested about dancing and he did everything with determination and conviction, overcoming his troubles. And because of his father could understood the real wish of his son about dancing and help him to reach that goal leaving his own prejudices behind.

n my opinion, Billy succeeded because of his strong talent; besides, his father helped him. Then, Billy was able to live in a big city far from home.

Billy succeeds because of his faith on himself and his feelings about dancing. As he says in the interview, when he dances, he can feel his own body in a different way and everything around him changes. This strong feeling is what leads him to be a great dancer.

from my piont of viue, billy succeed in the end because he matures, he realiced that dancing ballet is what he likes, and that doing that is better for his future than been a miner.
I think he pass the interview at the Royal Ballet becaouse he was honest. He said and did all the things that nobody mast do in a situation like that, but finally the teachers realiced that he is just naive so theyr let him study at that academy.
I really enjoied and emotioned during all the movie with billy's performance. He was always smailing, and when he was angry or sad he just dance and the problem went away.

Billy was an artist: He had a big star inside, to shine and to show to the people how much he enjoy dancing.

He was succeesful because of he always was himself: He fought against the social prejudices.

He found the happiness in ballet.
Every movement became an important decision in his life. When he danced he could feel invisible...like electricity and free... like a feather flying.

The ballet jury realised that Billy hid a great talent into his little body. The way in which he express himself.

He succeed at last because he didn`t give up. So his persistence help him to reach his dreams.

I believe Billy was able to succeed because he was able to rely on and had the support of people that were close to him, Ms. Wilkinson's in the beginning and his family's later on.

In addition, he clearly had the innate skills and the determination needed to work on improving and developing them, despite the opposition he initially faced; it's not merely the support of his family that allows him to succeed, but also his own drive towards self-improvement.

In my opinion, Billy succeed in the end because he was really honest about what he felt when he was dancing. His passion for the ballet made him tell the truth to the teachers who were going to decide his future within the prestigious academy. His love for dancing were the deciding factor to achieve his goals.
When you have such a hard passion nothing can go wrong...

Billy Elliot is a wonderful film. The spot set in Durhan city, au North East of England, during the strike miners in 1984. The audience is touched in the heart and minds at seeing a cute, innocent boy to confroter the prejudices of his society and family to be a ballet dancer. Billy Elliot encourage us to overtake the daily difficuts of the life to realize ours dreams. If you likes the challenges you must see Billy Elliot.

In my opinion, Billy could reaize his dream because the society and his family finished by accepted and supported his strong passion for dancing.

First of all, I think Billy was able to succeed because his love for dancing was much strong than society prejudices, among them his father. Besides, he showed to everybody that he had the will and talent to do Ballet.
After watching the evolution of the relation between Billy and his family, I believe the key of his succeed was the support and love...as when the judge asked Billy's father: Are you going to support to your son in a 100%?, because is the only way to succeed in Ballet.
Well in my opinion when you have passion for something (music, dance, cook, sing, etc) and you are happy when you do it, you'll always be successful.

In my opinion, billy could be succed because he always was himself. He blocked out all the discouraging comments from people.
He tried to focus on dancing and enjoy it.That was the path he took to reach what he wanted.
I think that, when you are convinced on something taht you want, you have to think about it whit all your strength. there will be always a lot of barriers on your way, but is your duty to "demolish" them and continue.

Because he stand his ideas about dance up and they are like a cable to the earth to escape from his problems, also he got help from his mother ( when she said” be yourself”) finally, when the people who surrounds him realized about he got good skills for dancing.
