3) Ludo believes that he is able to choose the gender you want
to be. Even though his sex is male, he chooses to be a female. Ludo believes he
was supposed to be a female but one of his X’s was thrown in the garbage rather
than being dropped down the chimney. Ludo enjoys having his hair long and wearing
dresses, make-up, and high-heels. As he reenacts a wedding with his school
friend, he wants to be the bride. This scene shows he is not confessing his
love for other males, whereas he just rather be a female. In another scene,
Ludo pretends to have a stomach ache because he has “received” his period.
4) Pam plays a major role in Ludo's life. Ludo inspires to be like Pam
one day. In school, Ludo brought in his doll of Pam for show and tell since Pam
is a role model to Ludo. For show and tell, most of the girls also brought in
the Pam doll. Pam accepts Ludo as he is. Society shows that he is different
from all the other 7- year old boys because Ludo is not following social
"norms". In Pam's world, Ludo and Pam are able to fly and do whatever
they would like to do without worrying about being accepted by others. Throughout
the movie, Ludo sings and dances to Pam's theme song as a way to imitate Pam.
Pam allows Ludo to have confidence to be able to act and dress how he wants to,
even if he wants to wear a pink dress.
