I am investigating how the representation of transvestites have changed in film and media. I chose to use 'Kinky Boots' as my text as it shows a transvestite and how he is now portrayed. This shows him to be a much exaggerated and theatrical character, as these features show that he seems to be very controlling in situations. This is a prime example which shows the typical stereotypes of transvestites or cross dressers. I will be finding out how transvestites have changed through out the years of film and weather there is a considerable difference. I feel that there will not be many opinions expressed in the earlier years of film as our society has increasingly changed and is now more open to different points of view. Although this film shows different views it also has a degree of stereotypes, which keep the audience interested and keeps a twist to the story.
