My report is due next week (I've got to get a paper wrote over As Nature Made Him finished first ) but I am having a hard time writing about the gender cues and I think the point you proved is why. Yes, I do agree with the obvious in the movie, such as the males having higher leadership roles, the females taking care of the babies, etc but I am not seeing the more subtle cues. My teacher pointed out a scene where young Simba and Nala are playing/fighting with each other and Nala ends up on top on him. To my teacher, this signifies something sexual and that it's okay for women to take charge. In my mind however, I see two children playing and that's it-no hidden meaning. I guess maybe I am too naive and tend to take things at face value without questioning motive. |
