Leans Traditional
Primary
The film consciously balances competing viewpoints regarding gender roles and parental responsibilities, focusing on the apolitical themes of individual growth and family dynamics in the face of divorce, rather than promoting a specific political ideology.
The movie features traditional casting with a focus on a white, mainstream family. Its narrative explores evolving gender roles within a conventional family structure, presenting traditional identities in a neutral or positive light without explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
Kramer vs. Kramer does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative centers entirely on the heterosexual marriage, divorce, and subsequent custody battle between Ted and Joanna Kramer, focusing on traditional family dynamics of the era.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Kramer vs. Kramer is an original film with characters created specifically for its screenplay. There is no prior source material, historical basis, or previous installment from which character genders could have been established and subsequently swapped.
