Leans Traditional
Primary
The film is rated as neutral because it primarily functions as a psychological character study exploring urban alienation and moral decay, deliberately avoiding the endorsement of any specific political solution or ideology through its ambiguous narrative.
The movie features a predominantly white cast, consistent with traditional casting practices and without explicit race or gender swaps. Its narrative centers on a white male protagonist's psychological state and perception of urban decay, without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or making DEI themes central to its plot.
Secondary
Taxi Driver does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses exclusively on the protagonist's psychological state and his interactions within a gritty urban environment, without engaging with queer identity or experiences.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Taxi Driver is an original film with characters created specifically for its narrative. There are no pre-existing source materials, historical figures, or prior adaptations from which characters' genders could have been established and subsequently altered.
Taxi Driver is an original screenplay, not an adaptation of existing material with established character races or a biopic of historical figures. All main characters were created for this film, thus no race swap occurred.
