Leans Traditional
Primary
The film's central subject matter of vampirism, plague, and existential dread is inherently apolitical, focusing on the human condition and individual sacrifice rather than societal or political structures.
Werner Herzog's 'Nosferatu the Vampyre' maintains traditional casting aligned with its 19th-century European setting and source material, featuring no intentional race or gender swaps. The narrative focuses on classic horror and existential themes without critiquing traditional identities or incorporating explicit DEI elements.
Secondary
The film portrays Christian faith and symbols, such as the cross, as a legitimate source of protection and moral strength against the vampire. Characters embodying Christian virtues are depicted sympathetically, and their faith is presented as a force for good, even when challenged by overwhelming evil.
Werner Herzog's 'Nosferatu the Vampyre' is a gothic horror film that faithfully adapts the classic vampire myth. The narrative and character arcs are devoid of any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes, focusing instead on heterosexual relationships and the horror of the plague. Therefore, the film has no net impact on LGBTQ+ portrayal.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Werner Herzog's 1979 film is an adaptation of the 1922 silent film and Bram Stoker's novel. All major characters, including Count Dracula, Jonathan Harker, and Lucy Harker, retain their established genders from the source material.
