In the wonderful comedic thriller Pirates of the Carribean: The curse of the Black Pearl, the characters played by Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, and Kiera Knightley really do represent the standard and non standard female and male gender roles. In the very beginning of the film the English sailors pick up a young a boy that was floating on the water, and the Governor tells his daughter Elizabeth to take care of him. From that point in the movie they establish that the female role in this movie is the standard female gender role of being less than a male and a care taker of the family. At this point, you also see the standard male gender role being portrayed by all of the male characters. As the film progresses we see that the gender roles don't seem to change much between the men or women. Although, the one change we do see in the film, is when Keira Knightley's character is older and begins to act more independednt, like a modern day woman of today, rather than the standard stereotypical woman of that century. However, the gender role portrayed by the men in the rest of the movie continue to be the standard male gender role, of acting strong, manly, and drinking. Overall, this movie displays a good look at both male and female gender roles and is with out a doubt a fantastic movie in general.
