Leans Traditional
Primary
The film's central subject matter, a boy's transformation into an adult, is inherently apolitical, focusing on universal themes of growing up and the value of imagination. While it offers a mild critique of corporate cynicism, this is presented from an innocent perspective rather than an ideological one, leading to a neutral rating.
The movie features a traditional cast with no explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. Its narrative maintains a neutral or positive framing of traditional identities, without centralizing DEI themes or offering critiques of traditional societal structures.
Secondary
The film "Big" does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative is centered on a heterosexual coming-of-age story, therefore, there is no LGBTQ+ portrayal to evaluate within the scope of this framework.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film "Big" features original characters created for its screenplay. There is no prior source material, historical record, or previous installment from which characters' genders could have been established differently, thus precluding any gender swaps.
The film "Big" is an original story from 1988, not an adaptation of pre-existing material or a biopic. Therefore, no characters had an established race prior to this film's creation, making a race swap impossible by definition.
