How does your media product represent particular social groups?

My main character Grant, represents the boy born to work, to carry on his father's job in a factory. Much like the film 'Billy Elliot' the two main characters are dwindled by their surroundings of a hard working, grey, working class town. Forced to be made to shy away from creativity the two continue on in secret, in both openings the characters are nervous about what they are doing, Grant in my film however quickly finds solace in the alcohol he is addicted to, an addiction hammered into him at an early age, whereas Billy, in his music and dance. The two are doing their business against their father's wishes and that of those close to them. Both characters represent the misunderstood children of judging parents, a barrier we are all familiar with, one that clearly states that parents aren't always the most open to creativity in their children. This theme runs in 'Dead Poet's Society', the character of 'Neil Perry' is told to permanently stop acting, his one true love of expression resulting in his inevitable suicide in his father's house. Although unexpressed in the opening, I had written Grant to be plagued with his father's disappointment throughout his life in the band despite his many achievements, a true sense of failure that leads him to be dropped by the band due to his excessive drinking.
