Traditional
Primary
The film critically examines the ethical compromises and power struggles within the US Senate during a controversial confirmation, focusing on the destructive impact of political opportunism and personal secrets rather than promoting a specific ideological agenda.
The film features a cast that is primarily traditional, reflecting common casting practices of its time without intentional race or gender swaps for established roles. The narrative maintains a neutral or positive framing of traditional identities, focusing on political drama and individual character arcs rather than offering a critique of these identities.
Secondary
The film portrays Senator Brigham Anderson sympathetically, but his past homosexual relationship is used for blackmail, leading to his tragic suicide. This outcome highlights the devastating societal prejudice of the era, presenting a punitive and ultimately negative portrayal of queer identity.
The film portrays Senator Brigham Anderson's devout Christian faith as a source of unwavering moral integrity and conscience amidst political corruption. His adherence to Christian values is presented sympathetically and as an admirable quality, even when it leads to personal sacrifice.
The film strongly condemns anti-Semitism through the character of Senator Lafe Smith, whose bigotry against a Jewish individual is depicted as reprehensible. The narrative clearly positions the audience to reject such prejudice, thereby affirming the dignity of the victimized religion.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film "Advise & Consent" is a direct adaptation of Allen Drury's novel. All major characters retain their established genders from the source material, with no instances of a character canonically or historically established as one gender being portrayed as another.
The film "Advise & Consent" (1962) is an adaptation of a novel. There is no evidence that any character canonically established as one race in the source material was portrayed as a different race in the film.
