BILLY ELLIOT. Wounds.


As we have seen in class Billy 's family belongs to a small, closely-knit community made up of working-class coal miners from northern England. Both the book and the film provide us with opportunities to explore the issues of gender and class and they are very helpful to reconsider our own cultural values, attitudes, roles, stereotypes, goals and expectactions. Sometimes they can be limited by our own views of the world. Do you agree?

Taking into account all the information and things learnt in class, make a speech (in the voicethread below) analysing characters and explaining how they are all wounded in one way or another and in what ways they overcome their own conflicts.IS THERE INDIVIDUAL GROWTH IN MOST OF THE CHARACTERS? Give your reasons and make reference to different scenes from the movie. Take into account , as well, the most important themes in the movie and how they affect the characters.
