Abstract
The paper discusses how the film "Billy Elliot," directed by Stephen Daldry and released by Universal Focus in 2000, is deceptively simple. On a superficial level, it is the oft-repeated tale of a boy pursuing his dreams. However, there is more to Billy Elliot than just this - the film has many layers, layers that are worth peeling. In particular, the paper points out that the film has much to say about labour. This is a weighty theme, yet, the paper maintains that this apparently simple film has important things to say about it.
