Leans Traditional
Primary
The film focuses on the personal moral and spiritual struggles of its characters within a specific subculture, depicting their lives and choices without explicitly promoting or critiquing any political ideology, thus earning a neutral rating.
The movie features a cast predominantly composed of Italian-American actors, accurately reflecting its setting in Little Italy. The narrative explores the lives and moral dilemmas of its characters without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or incorporating DEI themes as a central element.
Secondary
The film deeply explores the internal moral and spiritual struggles of its Catholic characters, particularly Charlie, who grapples with sin, guilt, and the desire for redemption. While characters often fail to live up to their religious ideals, the narrative treats their faith and its accompanying torment with profound nuance and sympathy, portraying it as a significant, guiding, albeit often conflicted, force in their lives rather than something oppressive or foolish.
Mean Streets does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on male friendships, loyalty, and the criminal underworld in Little Italy, with no explicit or implicit exploration of queer identity or relationships.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
