Revu #BillyElliot pour le présenter à des collégiens :
Le film fonctionne toujours très bien. Son propos sur la masculinité toxique, les préjugés sexistes et les conditions de vie de la classe ouvrière est toujours d'actualité. Bien écrit, bien monté, ça manque peut-être un peu de brio dans la mise en scène (j'attendais davantage des scènes de danse) mais c'est d'une grande efficacité.
Watched #BillyElliot for #FamilyFilmEvening. It's aged rather well, though possibly a little too nostalgic for the bad old days. Kids have gleefully learned a whole new stable of swearwords and how to use them. Youngest is now going round trying to talk in County Durham accent.
A bit of a relief from their endless Americanisms.
Would love some suggestions from the fediverse for other family films suitable for tweens/young teens with perhaps slightly challenging subjects...
