Leans Traditional
Primary
The film explores universal themes of ambition, tyranny, and the corrupting nature of power, focusing on individual moral failings and the breakdown of social order rather than advocating for a specific political ideology or offering a partisan solution.
This adaptation of Macbeth features traditional casting without intentional race or gender swaps for diversity. The narrative focuses on the play's original themes of ambition and tragedy, without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or incorporating modern DEI themes.
Secondary
The film depicts a Christian society where its adherents, particularly those in power, utterly fail to uphold Christian virtues, leading to widespread violence, tyranny, and moral decay. The narrative highlights the hypocrisy and inefficacy of the faith in preventing human depravity, offering no significant counterbalancing positive portrayal of its influence.
Roman Polanski's 'Macbeth' does not depict any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The film faithfully adapts the source material, focusing on themes of ambition, power, and guilt within a traditional heterosexual framework.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film is a direct adaptation of Shakespeare's play, maintaining the canonical gender of all established characters. The Three Witches, traditionally female, are portrayed as such in this adaptation.
The 1971 film adaptation of Shakespeare's Macbeth features a cast predominantly of white actors, consistent with the historical setting of 11th-century Scotland and the traditional portrayal of the characters. No characters established as one race are depicted as a different race.
