Such a powerful ending. Would have loved if Mrs. Wilkinson was there at the end to watch him too. If it wasn't for her he may never have even got into dancing. It would have been a nice full circle. Although I suppose it was more powerful to have his father there, showing his complete acceptance and pride for his son.

It was a timing issue, this scene wasn't in the original scrip and after the movie was edited they realized it needed another scene but when they called her she was out of the country working on another movie and couldn't get back. But I agree it would have been better if she was there.

Both son and father are released out of struggle. darkness and pain into light and life. The sheer power of this film monumental.

Maggie Chau The father had grown up in a culture where it was the man that provided for his family, and did so in a physically challenging way. Thatcher put the miners into poverty and the necessary strike emasculated them. ThE father was struggling with his own self worth and wanted the best for his son but couldn’t see it happening through ballet. His community recognised the shining light of talent born in the stark, painful reality of their lives and helped him escape.

Beautiful end to a brilliant film. I read in one of the comments here that this ending was done at the last minute and Julie Walters was committed elsewhere and couldn't appear. My lovely late mother used to say that Julie should have been there, I used to patiently 'correct' her by saying that her absence shows that nothing in life is EVER perfect. I wish she was still around so I could tell her she was right all along, that the producers wanted Julie in but she couldn't make it ! BTW - the T Rex music somehow fits wonderfully perfectly all through the film.

Raised in the best classical traditions of Russian Ballet, I find this version of "Swan Lake"amusing and funny, but regardless, Adam Cooper is a true super star , artistic, atletic and masculine at the same time! There is so much dignity and style in him. A gentleman, indeed.
