Leans Progressive
Primary
GoldenEye leans right due to its emphasis on individual heroism and the reassertion of national security and the established order against a rogue threat driven by personal revenge, rather than a systemic critique of the geopolitical landscape.
The movie demonstrates significant DEI through the explicit gender recasting of the traditionally male role of M with a female actress. However, its narrative maintains a traditional framing of its protagonist and does not explicitly critique traditional identities.
Secondary
The film features Xenia Onatopp, a skilled assassin, who uses her physical strength to defeat a male opponent in close-quarters combat. She is shown to be victorious in this direct physical confrontation.
The character of M, the head of MI6, was historically and canonically portrayed as male in previous James Bond films and source material. In GoldenEye, the role was recast with Judi Dench, portraying M as female, which constitutes a gender swap.
GoldenEye does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on traditional espionage tropes without exploring queer identities or experiences, resulting in no portrayal to evaluate.
GoldenEye introduced a new M (Judi Dench), which was a gender change from previous portrayals, but not a race change as all prior actors were white. All other legacy characters maintained their established race, and new characters do not qualify as race swaps.
