Leans Right
Primary
The film leans right by portraying private entrepreneurs as the effective solution to a city-wide crisis, while government bureaucracy is depicted as an incompetent and destructive impediment.
The 1984 film Ghostbusters features a cast that includes a Black actor in a significant role, reflecting some diversity for its era. However, it does not involve explicit race or gender swaps of pre-existing traditional roles. The narrative maintains a neutral to positive framing of traditional identities, without any explicit critique or central DEI themes.
Secondary
The film Ghostbusters does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Consequently, there is no portrayal of LGBTQ+ individuals or issues within the narrative, resulting in a net impact of N/A.
The film features supernatural entities and technological combat. No female character engages in or wins close-quarters physical combat against one or more male opponents through skill, strength, or martial arts. The primary combat involves male characters using proton packs against ghosts.
The 1984 film "Ghostbusters" is the original installment for its characters. There is no prior source material or previous installments where these characters were established with a different gender. Therefore, no gender swaps occur.
As the original film in the franchise, Ghostbusters (1984) introduced all its characters for the first time. There was no prior canon or source material from which character races could have been established and subsequently changed.
