The boat that rocked

  Stereotype:  When stereotypes are used as visual shortcut, the audiance assumes that it is true.
  Counter stereotype: this has a opposite of a stereotype. Something that you would least expect.
  Representation: Is the way that media represents things. Usual representation of women would be sensitive and flirtatious, independent. Usual representation of men would usually be tough, hard, aggressive.


This film was filmed in 1960's. This time period used to be very stereotypical. There are a lot of stereotypes involved with smoking and drinking within the script. This is very stereotypical, as they talk about quiting it, as it shows the audiance that it is bad. There is also swearing involved which is a stereotype of a teenager or a young adult that aren't upper class or shows that they have no manors. Throughout the script  there was only one character that was a female, and she didn't speak a lot, which tells me that this movie are dominated by men mostly. Which would bring up the stereotypes of the time the film was set in. I find it quite surprising that one of the characters was bisexual. as it isn't very stereotypical within the time period.
