Я буду вечно любить этот замечательный фильм!
У меня в памяти хорошо запечалилось знакомство с ним.
В школе один мой одноклассник дал мне посмотреть диск с этим фильмом.
Я была поражена уже в том возрасте.
Первое - самим фильмом, и второе - что у моего одноклассника есть вкус к хорошему кино.

I was trying to find a way of telling my own story but in a visual way.
The first image that came to my mind was a kid jumping up and down on the bed like I used to do.
Once I had that bit, the whole thing about dance just came tumbling out."

Partly inspired by Royal Ballet dancer Philip Marsden whom writer Lee Hall met while researching the sсript.
Marsden is from the North of England, and his family had a militant mining background.

Jamie Bell took ballet and other dance classes while in secondary school, which caused him to often be ridiculed by his peers.
He used some of these experiences as inspiration while playing Billy Elliot.

One of the great qualms of the entire film was whether Mrs. Wilkinson should be there in the final scene,
where the older Billy Elliot performs Swan Lake. Eventually, it came down to the fact that 'Julie Walters' wasn't available for filming.

Billy Elliot's original title was 'Dancer', but when they took the film to the Cannes Film Festival, there was another film called
Танцующая в темноте, which won the Palmes D'Or, prompting confusion; indeed, Universal Studios called the directors, producers
and writer up and congratulated them. They then realized they had to change the name and settled
('rather lamely', joked the writer) on 'Billy Elliot'.

When Elton John first saw the film at Cannes he immediately pitched the idea of making a stage musical of it to director Stephen Daldry.

The first release from Working Title's low-budget WT2 division.

Jamie Bell is the only one of the four principals to actually come from the area where the film is set.

Jamie Bell was going through puberty at the time of filming. Some of his dialog had to be post-synched as his voice had broken.
And the opening scene in which he jumps up and down on a bed to T-Rex's "Cosmic Dancer" was shot over a lengthy period of time.
For the latter takes, Bell had acquired hair on his legs and had to have them shaved.
