Analyzing...
Traditional
Primary
The film explicitly promotes xenophobic 'Yellow Peril' stereotypes through its villain's characterization and reinforces traditional moralistic views on female vanity and responsibility, aligning with historically right-wing nativist and conservative ideologies.
The movie includes a visible non-white actor in a significant role, contributing to cast diversity. However, its narrative primarily maintains a neutral or positive portrayal of traditional identities, without explicit critique, and does not center on DEI themes.
Secondary
The film "The Cheat" does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative focuses on heterosexual relationships and societal pressures, with no elements that depict or allude to queer identities or experiences.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The Cheat (1915) is an original film, not an adaptation of pre-existing material or a biopic. All characters were created for this specific production, meaning there is no prior canon or historical record against which to assess a gender swap.
The film features an original character, Hishuru Tori, who is explicitly Japanese and portrayed by a Japanese actor, Sessue Hayakawa. There is no prior source material establishing this character or any other major character as a different race.
