Paper Summary:
This paper examines the movie, "Billy Elliot" and how it counteracts and defies gender stereotypes through character presentation. It takes a critical look at the movie's representation of males in the realm of cross-dressing, wearing makeup, performing ballet/dance, loving relationships, etc. It also addresses themes such as homosexuality, homophobia, gender norms and sexual/gender identity.From the Paper:
"Billy Elliot's story fits nicely with the common tale at the epicenter of human dreams -- any account of man finding his niche, his dream, of man overcoming the odds or letting passion control the outcome, appeals to our humanity and often fits into a nicely resolved package. "Billy Elliot" is exceptional because it takes such a common narrative and ties it in with an undercurrent of sexuality (and the defiance of social norms) that runs throughout the course of the movie.
