Center
Primary
The film's central thesis explicitly promotes a progressive ideology by offering an unyielding critique of systemic corruption and the abuse of power within the justice system, highlighting its profound failure to deliver justice for all, particularly the vulnerable.
The film features a predominantly traditional cast without explicit DEI-driven recasting of roles. Its narrative focuses on critiquing corruption within the justice system, rather than explicitly portraying traditional identities negatively or centering DEI themes.
Secondary
The film portrays LGBTQ+ characters in contexts of significant marginalization and tragedy. The depiction of a transvestite prostitute and a gay-coded character's suicide associates queer identity with exploitation and punitive outcomes, lacking positive counterpoints or critique of societal prejudice. This results in a net negative impact.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film "...And Justice for All" is an original screenplay. All characters were created for this specific film, meaning there is no prior source material or historical record to establish a canonical gender for any character before their portrayal in this movie.
