Leans Progressive
Primary
The film's central thesis critiques pervasive, subtle antisemitism in American society, advocating for individual moral courage and active allyship to combat social prejudice, aligning with progressive values of social justice.
The movie features a traditional cast for its era, primarily focusing on white characters to explore the issue of antisemitism. Its narrative, however, is a strong and explicit critique of prejudice, directly challenging the antisemitic attitudes prevalent within the dominant societal structures of its time.
Secondary
The film critiques the widespread societal complicity and individual hypocrisy within the predominantly Christian-majority culture that allows antisemitism to persist, portraying many nominal Christian characters as either prejudiced or passively accepting of bigotry.
The film powerfully condemns antisemitism by showing the protagonist experiencing prejudice firsthand when he pretends to be Jewish. It positions the audience to sympathize with Jewish characters and the dignity of their faith in the face of bigotry.
The film "Gentleman's Agreement" focuses on themes of antisemitism and prejudice against Jewish people in post-WWII America. Its narrative does not include any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes, thus there is no portrayal to evaluate.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film is an adaptation of a novel, and its characters' genders align with their portrayals in the source material. There are no instances of established characters being depicted with a different gender on screen.
The film is an adaptation of a novel where all major characters, both Jewish and non-Jewish, were established as white. The on-screen portrayals by the cast align with these established racial depictions, with no character's race being altered.
