Billy Elliot (2000)

The film's left-leaning rating is primarily driven by its backdrop of the 1984 miners' strike, highlighting class struggle and the plight of the working class, alongside its central narrative of challenging rigid gender norms through Billy's pursuit of ballet. It champions individual self-expression against societal and economic constraints.

The movie features a predominantly white cast, reflecting its specific historical and geographical setting. Its narrative explores themes of challenging traditional gender roles and expectations within a working-class, male-dominated environment, without explicitly portraying traditional identities negatively.
