billy elliot last scene

[@orlandoojeda2818]

His father’s face, that’s the ENTIRE MOVIE THERE!!!

[@giuliaaimasso3109]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@stewartmcfarlane2008]

I cry along with Billy's Dad every time i see this scene. I am a tough bloke also descended from Scottish miners. This is one of my favourite films.

[@davidreames384]

The moment Billy's foot leaves the ground and his dad gasps as he sees his son fly... I felt that.

[@aloexialoe]

Siempre lloro

[@jackie12301]

Felt it and wanted more

[@lauraclaire]

Me too.

[@rafikbaladi6555]

I am overwhelmed by how Billy's dad rises with emotions as his son reaches his climax of glory and the dad discovers the Peak of genuine fatherhood. It destroyed me with tears. Simply divine

[@ricky0244]

Such a powerful scene, the music and the drama building with every second, it gives me chills every time I see it.

[@kirstyjavins92]

Such a powerful ending. Would have loved if Mrs. Wilkinson was there at the end to watch him too. If it wasn't for her he may never have even got into dancing. It would have been a nice full circle. Although I suppose it was more powerful to have his father there, showing his complete acceptance and pride for his son.

[@hamie58]

It was a timing issue, this scene wasn't in the original scrip and after the movie was edited they realized it needed another scene but when they called her she was out of the country working on another movie and couldn't get back. But I agree it would have been better if she was there.

[@FannyDash]

@@hamie58 I`m sorry i do not agree it would have bin nice if she could see it but his father thiks of his wife and how proud and happy she woukd have been

[@antoniou.1158]

Thanks for the explanation. I imagined the character died of lung cancer.

[@venicawood3894]

@@FannyDash I, too, disagree. It would have been trite and totally predictable had she been in the audience.

[@DeweyGotanycheese]

Well, I for one think it would be great if she had been there. I don’t think she’d have missed it for anything other than that hand-in-the-garbage-disposal event earlier in the day. 😟

[@ltbrooks]

Gah, the dad in tears at the end gets me EVERY TIME.

[@TheIndigolee72]

Me TOO!!!!......Saw this on Broadway and probs cried thru 3/4 of it. This movie is very special to me.

[@tootiemilburn]

omg me too

[@beeman2075]

That last gasp and reaction of his father gets me every time also.

[@amandab8433]

Makes me cry like a baby, every, single. time 😭❤️

[@stevelee9924]

Tears of pride

[@Jdement]

Love how supportive Michael is.

[@bignell07]

I love how all the dancers rush out in excitement to look on as Billy comes out for his part and his fathers expression as Billy jumps. Movies like this aren't my thing just kept hearing about it so much so decided to see what all the talk was about and I watched this movie numerous times since. Really good Movie.

[@ericapalmer6878]

You knew Billy was the best when the other dancers were struggling to get a good view!

[@a.g.demada5263]

And when Billy appears

[@JohnFisherChoir]

Well yeah he goes out by himself, he’s clearly the main dancer

[@tomarnold7284]

Yes! That was a clever touch!

[@cherylbertrand7162]

My all time favourite ending. I feel the pride his family have for him.

[@elephunkz]

that shot that shifted between billy jumping and the gasp billys dad made before revealing the last leap is poetic cinema.

[@philjohnson3547]

An incredible performance by Gary Lewis throughout the entire film. He deserved a big award for that.

[@christinemoccia477]

His father's gasp of pure pride and love is classic!!!!!!!!!

[@mossy642]

You can just tell his maturity and power from his physique, his prowess from his stance. We somehow know that he hasn’t become a mediocre dancer. And the father’s reaction is just pure excellence.

[@homelesshannah50]

The absolutely BOSS way he walks to the stage tells me he's probably the star of the show

[@mossy642]

@@homelesshannah50 not only that, but we can see the power in his character. We somehow know that he owns whatever room he walks into.

[@DavidL1986]

Well he’s clearly the lead dancer, everyone also looking at him. The Alpha male!

[@misskitty1235]

The deference paid him, the way he comes in aside from the others with the cape on, then enters after the others, it’s obvious he is the star.

[@yiannisvassilakis7005]

He is the protagonist..primo ballerino..étoile!!!❤❤❤

[@notbaltic280]

I love the symmetry in this film. The father emerges from below the earth - urged on by his elder son - up escalator - contrasted with the miners in the lift being transported under the earth. Both son and father are released out of struggle. darkness and pain into light and life. The sheer power of this film monumental.

[@mocuishle1028]

Dang! That’s an excellent observation!

[@kiki1188661]

i don't understand parents who stop their kids from doing what they love. let them blossom

[@iloveharrold]

Maggie Chau The father had grown up in a culture where it was the man that provided for his family, and did so in a physically challenging way. Thatcher put the miners into poverty and the necessary strike emasculated them. ThE father was struggling with his own self worth and wanted the best for his son but couldn’t see it happening through ballet. His community recognised the shining light of talent born in the stark, painful reality of their lives and helped him escape.

[@-Vitalis-]

If parents don't love themselves... they won't love their children. Prove me wrong.

[@rbsadler]

The moment I see the look that Billy's father has on my own parent's face will be one of the happiest moments of my life.

[@lindafoley5314]

That makes me cry everytime! 😭😭😭 Seeing his dad finally seeing his son in that wonderful production and how proud of him that he was so fulfilling!

[@ivanbrocko]

Bloody hell....love this movie.....the father's face....makes me cry everytime I see this scene. Jamie Bell....love him.

[@doreenlloyd-thompson44]

It's everything together. The dance, pride, tears and the music.

[@robertreynolds323]

The walk in the darkness of the wings towards the bright lights of the stage and the power of the music gets me every time.

[@carontownsend9890]

Best ending to a film ever. Maybe one of the best scenes ever in a film.i have watched it dozens of times and it never fails to reduce me to tears.

[@wendyhickey9699]

Gary Lewis is so wonderful in this movie - and, yes, the last shot of him with his gasp of surprise and pleasure at seeing Billy is the clincher

[@tammyclay62]

Billy's dad finds peace with himself as a father. He knows he did the right thing for Billy.

[@martineaube4453]

J'adore ce film,et ce passage est mon préféré, quel émotion quand il arrive vers la scène, que tous les autres danseurs le regarde, et puis ,il entre en scène, et s'envole comme un cygne sous les yeux emus de son frère, de son père, et de son ami d'enfance, cest juste magnifique

[@thisisme2476]

1:03 When he finally comes into the light, looks like he has actual wings furled up under that towel.

I shiver every time I watch this,the pure beauty of that jump !

[@lisawright63]

Bloody fantastic film. I love swan lake. I’ve been to a few “swan lake” ballets but the ending of this, is just magical. The music is so powerful, and the dancing is superb. Watching his father tear up, and gasp when his son makes his appearance, it gets me every time..

[@louise7552]

I love ballet and I've seen a few different international companies perform it over the years, always blows me away. I saw Billy Elliot live in Sydney twice it was brilliant, and watch the movie once a year and I always cry when the dad nearly breaks the picket line so he can send Billy for lessons.

[@victoriaballard7354]

Must have watched this a dozen times still gives me chills years later.

And me! This film has me crying with rage, pity, pride, sadness... and gladness

[@Sirianstar10]

You can almost feel his father losing his breath seeing his son jumped like that. I never get tired of watching this scene. Crying yet again. I love this movie

[@egarc75]

Probably one of the most beautiful endings a movie could have.

[@mariachester950]

The best ending ...ever...only have to hear the music....I m in floods...❤❤❤

[@gianfrancomancini7526]

A father's great sacrifice fully repayed. Extraordinary finale. So emotional and commovating. It teaches us the lesson of what family pride is all about. A perfect example of what Parents love can transmit to you. TIMELESS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! By the way, try not to cry.... Very Profound.

[@jennygriffin334]

I agree the father’s sacrifice is fully paid 2:28 back by his son who has worked hard to become a powerful professional dancer.

[@yukkaplant1]

Such a brilliant ending, that jump was amazing and his Dad OMG!!!!!

[@helenbispham3933]

If you remember from the film,at his audition he told them he simply wanted to fly,I think he certainly did that.

[@barbarajackhobart3531]

In the midst of this pandemic I have watched this a dozen times. A ray of sunshine and hope

[@ysgol3]

Beautiful end to a brilliant film. I read in one of the comments here that this ending was done at the last minute and Julie Walters was committed elsewhere and couldn't appear. My lovely late mother used to say that Julie should have been there, I used to patiently 'correct' her by saying that her absence shows that nothing in life is EVER perfect. I wish she was still around so I could tell her she was right all along, that the producers wanted Julie in but she couldn't make it ! BTW - the T Rex music somehow fits wonderfully perfectly all through the film.

[@dalusgembalus]

Hey!! I loove your comment!! ❤

[@jarimikkola2997]

This is one of the best movies I've ever seen...and West London production of Billie Elliot was also a smash hit. I loved 'em both.

[@maureendixon3560]

Always a goosebump moment ❤❤❤

[@russiancatsima]

I watched this movie three times, so charming it is. And every time my breath was taken away by the final scene..Dream came true. Raised in the best classical traditions of Russian Ballet, I find this version of "Swan Lake"amusing and funny, but regardless, Adam Cooper is a true super star , artistic, atletic and masculine at the same time! There is so much dignity and style in him. A gentleman, indeed.

[@misskitty1235]

This is an actual performance, not just a bit for the movie. The dancer is Adam Cooper, star performer of Matthew Bourne’s 1997 all male version of Swan Lake, performed by the Royal Ballet in London.

[@maricarmencortes2298]

It was Frigging EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have no idea why it wasn't a global phenomenon!!

[@kelsogirl562]

Ah - the wonderful, wonderful Adam Cooper. I saw Matthew Bourne's production of Swan Lake (from which this excerpt is taken) in London in the 1990's with Adam Cooper as lead and it was the most fabulous and memorable production of anything I've ever seen. Everything about it was perfect - the set, the dancers, the choreography, the amazing and innovative costumes and, of course, Tchaikovsky's music. It was a perfect ending to Billy Elliot.

[@leonhue722]

Yep, an emotional scene for all the players in the movie ... together for us viewer who were drawn into their world, with all it's challenges.

[@jasbarsoph]

Billy looked like he had a good strong back for carrying a bags of coal in the last scene 😂

[@ricardomadureirarodrigues8411]

Father made a point of sending someone to tell Billy his family was there for him. I'm sure with this motivation Billy flied much higher!

[@Hedge_witch]

@Anadance No! that's the whole point, it's just perfect the way it is in my opinion, seeing his father's face after all the sacrifice he has made for his son, fullfilling hs dead wifes wishes aswell, it's heartbreakingly wonderful. It's almost as if that performance is just for him and his father and nobody else, it's an absolutely wonderful ending.
