Leans Traditional
Primary
The film's narrative centers on an individual's romantic struggles and personal journey through deception and blindness, ultimately finding truth and genuine love, without engaging in explicit political commentary or advocating for specific ideological viewpoints.
This early 20th-century romantic drama features traditional casting practices prevalent for its era, with no discernible intentional diversity in its main roles. The narrative focuses on romantic entanglements without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or centering themes of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Secondary
The film implicitly affirms Christian-adjacent moral virtues, such as self-sacrifice, purity, and true love, contrasting them with materialism and superficiality. The narrative rewards characters embodying these virtues, aligning the film's moral framework with a positive view of these principles.
Fool's Paradise (1921) is a silent romantic drama directed by Cecil B. DeMille. The film's narrative centers on a soldier's experiences in war and his romantic entanglements. No identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes are depicted within the story.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The 1921 film "Fool's Paradise" is an adaptation of Leonard Merrick's short story "The Laurels and the Lady." There is no evidence or widely known information to suggest that any established character from the source material had their gender changed in the film adaptation.
As an original film from 1921, 'Fool's Paradise' does not adapt existing source material or feature historical figures. Therefore, no characters had a previously established race to be altered, precluding any race swaps according to the definition.
