Billy Elliot takes the old-fashioned route and makes an honest, emotional connection. Billy's motherless household is a grubby, oppressive place, and when his father and brother join their fellow miners in walking off the job, it becomes a tension-filled one. The story unfolds at a carefully unhurried pace: after a disastrous boxing lesson, Billy accidentally finds himself in a girls' ballet class. The teacher recognizes his talent, begins tutoring him in private and persuades...

The jab was based on an outdated caricature of Chicago, and more than anything, it further underscored McCain's age. What he and fellow Republicans didn't (and probably still don't) understand is that being from Chicago is now an asset for a presidential candidate, not a liability...
