"The Full Monty"

The movie is about a guy named Gaz, who used to work in a steel mill making all sorts of different steel products. The mill soon goes out of business and Gaz loses his job along with other workers. So Gaz and his friend Dave try looking for a job or a way to get money. Gaz wants money for child support, so he can continue to see his son and Dave wants money to support his family. They start off the movie by stealing a big piece of steel, but instead it sinks their car in water. When this stunt turns out bad, they stumble across Chippendales, a men's show for women. This show involves dancing for women, but the men are not completely naked. Gaz and Dave decide that dancing for women would be a very good way to get the money that is needed. At first the men aren't too excited to do the strip show because of their physical bodies(mainly Dave, because he is fat), but they continue with the show. Next, they quickley get Lomper to join their show, who was was introduced to the film trying to kill himself by fumes going into his car. Gaz and Dave stop him and he goes along for the ride of the strip show. Soon, Gerald joins the dance show, he worked with Gaz and Dave at the steel mill. The guys sabotage Gerald's interview and Gerald was lost with no alternative but to join the show. The reason why Gerald also needs money is because his wife is still spending money like crazy and doesn't know that he lost his job. So, the strip show seems like a fast and easy way to get the money that he needs now!
The men start interviewing guys for their show and decide to have horse and a couple other guys join. They practice in an abandoned factory and are really worried about their appearances. They get caught practicing their strip show and the town of Sheffield finds out who the men are that were having the "real, naked show," so now they have to perform especially since 200 tickets were sold.
They perform the show and are nude, as in full monty, and that is why the movie is called, "The Full Monty." Also, in the end the last thing that was taken off was the hat. In addition to that, throughout the entire movie, music was played from when the guys are strolling down the street and come across chippendales to the time when they are performing their show.

The article talks about how the movie was based upon olden times when employment was a tough thing to find. It goes from talking about men that are steelworkers to men that take their clothes off in public, since society doesn't have a "role" for them anymore. Also, the article talks about how the men of this day and age, felt as if they needed to support their families, and one of the best ways to do that was to strip down, although this movie wasn't just about stripping down, it was also about creating a bond between these men and fulfilling their need of money for their families.
The article continues to go on to talk about bodies of men and women. It started off by talking about how men were presumed to be the tough, strong, built, and the hard gender; while women were perceived as light, feminine, soft, and weak gender. This image is soon changed with the guys showing off their bodies. The women turn into this wild beast that don't need men in their lives anymore, except for performing strip tease shows. An example is when a woman came in the bathroom of Chippendales and used a urinal. Altogether the article explains that the different relationships between men and women, and men with their sons is very important to society and men will do about anything to keep it going. The Full Monty was a prime example of someone being considered low class in the society to someone becoming a hero in the end.
