“Inside every one of us is a special talent waiting to come out. The trick is finding it.”

At long last! I was able to get a bootleg copy of the movie. Although I’m not a ballet fan, the training, discipline and balance it requires is simply phenomenon!

I appreciate the moral the movie portrayed… being true to yourself. For that, 4 stars.

There may be some scenes that are kinda dragging but still essential to the storyline. I didn’t find the movie really entertaining with lots of dance or whatsoever. It’s a simple story of a boy who wanted to do ballet instead of boxing and his struggles to win his dad’s approval. You’re up for a big surprise when you find out what became of him at the end. 
