“Bohemian Rhapsody” is a musical masterpiece that broke with industry conventions in the mid-1970s, not only because of its atypical length and structure

“Bohemian Rhapsody” clearly challenges the norms of society and the music industry of its time by breaking with the traditional structures and expectations of a pop or rock song. Its mix of genres and atypical length reflect a spirit of creative freedom and a non-conformist attitude, values that the British culture of the seventies was beginning to value more and more. This work thus becomes a symbol of the importance of innovation and artistic authenticity in a society that, in many respects, was still conservative.

A comparison with The Grizzlies and Coraline shows that each questions social norms from different angles: “Bohemian Rhapsody” does so from individual and artistic expression, while The Grizzlies highlights the importance of collective identity and the struggle against social exclusion, and Coraline criticizes the lack of attention and emotional connection in the modern family. Thus, the three works, each in its own way, reflect and challenge the cultural and social norms of their contexts.

The Grizzlies is a powerful film that explores the social and emotional struggles faced by Inuit youth in a remote Canadian community. Set in a context marked by historical trauma, the film reflects the impact of colonization, residential schools, and cultural loss, particularly the crisis of youth suicide. From a historical perspective, it gives visibility to long-ignored Indigenous realities in Canada. Socially, it emphasizes how empowerment and healing can come from within the community, especially when cultural practices—like lacrosse—are reclaimed as sources of pride and identity. Culturally, The Grizzlies celebrates resilience and the importance of preserving tradition while creating space for new expressions of identity.

In comparison, Bohemian Rhapsody challenges social norms through artistic experimentation and personal expression. While Queen’s song reflects a society beginning to embrace creative freedom and question conservative values, The Grizzlies highlights the power of collective identity and cultural reconnection as tools of resistance and survival. Meanwhile, Coraline critiques emotional detachment and idealized family models within a modern, consumer-driven world, showing how even seemingly perfect realities can mask deeper emotional emptiness.

Each of the three works—through music, film, or fantasy—confronts the dominant values of its time and place. The Grizzlies denounces systemic exclusion; Bohemian Rhapsody defies creative conformity; and Coraline questions modern notions of perfection and comfort. Together, they demonstrate how narratives can reflect, critique, and reimagine the cultural and social structures that shape human experience.

Coraline, like Bohemian Rhapsody, represents a break with traditional structures, albeit from a more introspective and symbolic narrative perspective. While Queen's Song challenges musical conventions through formal experimentation and artistic expression, Coraline does so by presenting a profound critique of the contemporary family model and the obsession with superficial perfection. The protagonist faces an idealized alternative world that, seemingly, offers her everything she desires, but conceals a real threat: the loss of autonomy and authenticity. This metaphor becomes a reflection of the dangers of a society that prioritizes image and consumption over emotional connection and genuine presence.

On the other hand, The Grizzlies differs from Coraline by being set in a more realistic and collective social context, focused on the healing of communal and historical traumas. While Coraline fights for her individuality within the intimate space of the home, the young Inuit in The Grizzlies fight for their cultural identity in the face of a legacy of colonization. However, both narratives emphasize the capacity for resilience and transformation stemming from conflict. Together, the three works show how narrative can be a mirror of cultural tensions and, at the same time, a tool for identity reconstruction and social critique.
