This movie was a great representation of the "norms" of society. There is so much pressure put on people regarding their race, gender and sexual orientation. All these factors may lead to the way you identify yourself.
Within the movie, they used the colors blue and pink to divide the girls from the boys. Blue was associated with the boys while pink was designated to the girls. The activities that both genders had to participate in were based on the what society thinks was appropriate. The girls were to do the household chores like washing the dishes and cooking. The boys were to be nothing but masculine while chopping wood or fixing cars. These little elements are said to be what determines you being a girl or a boy.
The girl and boy are supposed to live happily ever after. The fact that within this movie, the teenagers were sent to a camp because they were built "wrong" adds to the stereotypes of society. They began to wonder what was wrong with them and who their true identity is.
