Center
Primary
The film's central message champions individuality and challenges social conformity, promoting an unconventional, open-minded lifestyle that aligns with progressive social values, rather than explicit political ideology.
The film features a cast that is primarily traditional in its composition, without explicit race or gender swaps of established roles. The narrative does not critically portray traditional identities, instead maintaining a neutral or positive framing of such characters.
Secondary
The film features Ito, a character often interpreted as coded gay, whose effeminate mannerisms contribute to comedic moments. While relying on some stereotypes, his portrayal is not malicious; he is a loyal and valued member of Mame's eccentric family. His potential queer identity is incidental, neither uplifted nor denigrated, resulting in a neutral net impact.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
