Colloquialism:
Poof: An offensive word for a homosexual man.
This is a very good movie; I like it very much because it shows a boy who is fighting for his dream to become a professional ballet dancer. Jackie and Tony are both out on strike, and Billy realizes he does not like boxing so he takes ballet classes with the help of Miss Wilkinson. His father and his brother both are against Billy because they think he is homosexual or as they say “poof”. At the end both understood Billy’s passion was dancing and Billy became a professional ballet dancer.
There are some things that called my attention one of them was the use of offensive words and a lot of swearwords. Another one was this movie has something similar with the clockwork orange movie, because both use several songs in different scenes in the movie according to the effect that the director wants.
