Leans Traditional
Primary
The film's central themes of existential anxiety, psychological horror, and the grotesque aspects of human existence and reproduction are largely apolitical, offering no explicit promotion or critique of specific political ideologies or solutions.
The film features a traditional cast without explicit diversity initiatives or race/gender swaps of established roles. Its narrative focuses on existential and psychological themes, offering a neutral portrayal of traditional identities without incorporating explicit DEI critiques or themes.
Secondary
Eraserhead does not feature any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The surrealist narrative centers on heterosexual relationships and the protagonist's anxieties, rendering the film's net impact on LGBTQ+ portrayal as not applicable.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Eraserhead is an original film with no pre-existing source material, historical figures, or prior installments. All characters were created for this film, meaning there is no established gender from a prior canon to be swapped.
Eraserhead is an original film from 1977, not an adaptation of existing source material, a biopic, or a reboot. Its characters were created for this film and thus have no prior canonical or historical racial establishment to be altered.
