Despite the different cultures that this world is consisted of, family has always been an important factor in a person’s life. The films, Bend it Like Beckham directed by Gurinder Chadha (2002), and Billy Elliot, directed by Stephen Daldry (2000), are a prime example showing that youngsters try to adapt to their society’s expectation and to their family’s also. In order to assert their ideas, both films use cultural setting and the relationship between siblings.
Although the main characters from the two movies are different, their cultural environment have an effect on them. In the film Billy Elliot, the protagonist’s dad wants his son to practice boxing but the protagonist himself wants to do ballet. His father is not too keen on that idea
