Leans Right
Primary
The film's core subject matter, the rise and fall within the criminal underworld, is largely apolitical, focusing on character study and the inherent destructiveness of the lifestyle rather than promoting or critiquing specific political ideologies or societal structures.
The movie features a predominantly white and male cast, accurately reflecting the specific cultural and historical context of the Italian-American mafia without intentional diversity-driven casting. The narrative focuses on the criminal activities of these characters but does not critique their traditional identities (white, male) in a DEI framework, nor are explicit DEI themes central to the story.
Secondary
Goodfellas does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative is entirely centered on heterosexual relationships and the dynamics of the male-dominated criminal underworld, resulting in no portrayal of queer identity.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Goodfellas is a biographical crime film based on real historical figures. All primary and secondary characters are portrayed on screen by actors matching the documented gender of their historical counterparts, with no instances of a character's gender being altered from the source material.
Goodfellas is a biographical film based on real historical figures who were white. All major characters are portrayed by actors of the same race as their historical counterparts, with no instances of a character's race being changed from their established background.
