Reply #44: Yes, I know. But why are these fairy tales perpetuated in 20th Century film? [View All]

Why are nearly all the characters in Finding Nemo, male?

As for teachers, in one movie, Julia Roberts is inspiring, but in the end loses her job, etc. The Childrens' Hour, the Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, Up the Down Staircase is also about teachers that ultimately get in trouble.

Mr. Holland's Opus, The Dead Poets Society, To Sir With Love, Blackboard Jungle, and the more recent film out, are about men inspiring students.

The huge percentage of women as teachers is not reflected on screen.
