Leans Traditional
Primary
While the film addresses issues like corporate exploitation and sexual harassment, its central solution is rooted in individual moral awakening and the pursuit of genuine human connection, leading to a neutral political bias.
The movie features a predominantly traditional cast without any explicit race or gender swaps of established roles. Its narrative focuses on critiques of individual behavior and corporate culture, rather than explicitly challenging or negatively portraying traditional identities or centering DEI themes.
Secondary
The Apartment does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative centers entirely on heterosexual relationships, corporate dynamics, and the personal struggles of its straight protagonists, resulting in no LGBTQ+ representation.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The Apartment is an original screenplay, not an adaptation, biopic, or reboot. All characters were created for this film, meaning no pre-existing characters had their gender changed.
The Apartment is an original film from 1960, not an adaptation of pre-existing material with established character races, nor does it feature historical figures. Therefore, no characters could have been race-swapped from a prior canonical or historical depiction.
