Primary
Clue is a comedic murder mystery primarily focused on individual secrets, lies, and the consequences of personal moral failings rather than systemic political issues. Its multiple endings and farcical tone prevent it from championing any specific political ideology, resulting in a neutral rating.
The movie 'Clue' features a predominantly white cast with no explicit race or gender swaps of traditional roles. Its narrative, a comedic murder mystery, does not engage in critical portrayals of traditional identities or incorporate explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
The film features an explicitly gay character, Mr. Green, whose identity is revealed in one of the canonical endings. His portrayal is ultimately positive, as he is revealed to be the competent hero who states his sexuality with agency, without it being a source of mockery or negative consequence. This depiction, especially for its era, is affirming.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film "Clue" adapts characters from the board game, such as Colonel Mustard, Miss Scarlett, and Professor Plum. All these established characters retain their original genders as depicted in the source material. New characters introduced for the film do not count as gender swaps.
The film "Clue" (1985) adapts characters from the board game, whose races were implicitly white. All primary characters in the film are portrayed by white actors, consistent with the source material. New characters introduced in the film do not constitute race swaps.
