Some overheard lines of conversation:
How effective is the movie at portraying the cultural changes that were going on during the early 1990s?
How do the different aspects of the film come to portray this journey of change?

My voice will be a conglomerate of the different views of the people. The changing cultural climate and establishment of stronger voices of women reflects a journey towards a more accepting and understanding world. Thus, the portrayal of these women on film is a microcosm of the larger change in cultural standards and establishment of new traditions.
People will talk about the extent to which the film accurately portrays the changing climate. Mainly, how far does the movie go? Griggers will assert that the film contains lesbian subtext, while Cook will state that the movie is successful because it asserts a so-called “gender-bending” of sorts. I think this is the most pertinent example to my paper because, in order to show change, there has to be a blending of lines. This blending is a journey that ultimately leads to another end. Since culture builds and shape the concept of “gender,” the blending of gender lines shows a change in culture and cultural attitudes.
A questions that the “idea” side of the table may ask the “support” side of the table is how the individual aspects of the film come together to produce the final product. How does laughter fit into the picture? Laughter is a means to generate a larger audience. The film is comical, yet violent. This disconnect is important for establishing a larger audience. The film appeals to both sexes, thus more people will know about the change the film wants to bring to culture.
