Excellent! Apart from the obvious "follow your own heart" message, I thought the economic and social backdrop of the film superbly heightened Billy's conflict. That said, I have to confess that during the central dance sequence of Billy dancing on rooftops and in the streets left me agape for several minutes. The sheer beauty of his movements combined with the honesty and innocence that he so expertly depicts made watching the film an extremely heartwarming experience. Considering how "Gladiator" and "Erin Brockovich" are garnering nominations for major awards, this film deserves more attention.
