#72 – Billy Elliot

In this Movie-Go-Round Netflix Roulette, we checked out the world's introduction to actor Jaime Bell: Billy Elliot. This movie, about a rebellious tween boy drawn to classical dance in a blue-collar mining town, joins last week's film in an exploration of what it means to be a "masculine" man. Nicole, Brett, and David dug into the political backstory, the unsung lives of the women in this town, the punk and glam-rock needle drops, and the struggle to escape or accept life in a working class community. Next week's theme is Future Classics and the film is Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse. Be sure to check out the film so you can follow along! Email the show at [email protected].
