Leans Traditional
Primary
The film's central conflict, an inexplicable natural disaster, is inherently apolitical, focusing on human vulnerability and the struggle for survival without promoting any specific political ideology or offering an ideologically-driven solution.
The movie features a predominantly white cast, consistent with the era of its production, and does not include intentional race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. The narrative centers on the horror and survival of its characters without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or incorporating explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
Alfred Hitchcock's 'The Birds' is a suspense thriller centered on a town's inexplicable avian attacks and the heterosexual relationships among its main characters. The film does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes, leading to a net impact of N/A regarding LGBTQ+ portrayal.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The 1963 film is a loose adaptation of Daphne du Maurier's short story, introducing new main characters like Melanie Daniels and Mitch Brenner rather than gender-swapping existing characters from the source material. No character established in the original story is portrayed as a different gender in the film.
The film "The Birds" is an adaptation of a Daphne du Maurier short story. The characters' races were not explicitly defined in the source material, and the film's casting of white actors for the main roles does not contradict any established canonical or historical racial identity. No character was portrayed as a different race than previously established.
