Opening Sountrack - Billy Elliot

Opening Soundtrack - Billy Elliot ( Cosmic Dancer)




This is the opening scene from the classic film 'Billy Elliot'. This film was very popular then and smashed the film market in its time. The film is about a young boy who secretly has a passion for dancing but with his family wanting him to box and bullying him about being a dancer. The film shows his struggle with chasing his dream and the break up of his family, but in the out come he becomes a dancer and his dream is achieved.
The opening soundtrack here is very important as the lyrics relate to the film and it sets a calming mood to the audience. The soundtrack is 'Cosmic Dancer' by t.Rex. This song has the lyrics 'I was dancing since i was tweleve' , this is very convenient as it relates to billy as he loves dancing and is around the age of twelve. The film is about dancing and so is the song, this is good as they relate and the soundtrack instantly tells the audience that billy is going to be a dancer as he listens to this and jumps on his bed.
