摘　　要：By contrasting the two British films, KesI and Billy Elliot2, which in different historical periods, the paper is a comparative cultural study to films. Aside from the similarities, the differences between the two films precisely show the cultural and social differences in reality. In Raymond Williams＇ s theory of cultural materialism, culture can be divided into three categories--the dominant, residual and emergent. In relation to this, the ＇cultural hybridity＇ can be shown clearly among the problems （eg. gender, class, sexuality, etc） that the two films involve. Then, I suggest that the relationships between Kes and the ＇emergent culture＇ is an important cultural aspect which Kes exceeds to Billy Elliot.
