Primary

Political: CenterConfidence: High

The film primarily explores philosophical themes of fate, free will, and the nature of reality, using environmental catastrophe and societal breakdown as a backdrop without explicitly promoting a specific political ideology or solution. It critiques both radical actions and bureaucratic control without clear partisan alignment, leading to a neutral rating.

Diversity: LowConfidence: High

The movie '12 Monkeys' features traditional casting with a predominantly white main cast and no explicit race or gender swaps. Its narrative does not contain critical portrayals of traditional identities or explicit DEI themes, focusing instead on its science fiction and psychological elements.

Secondary

Gender Swap: NoConfidence: High

The film "12 Monkeys" is an adaptation of Chris Marker's "La Jetée." While it expands on the original narrative and introduces new characters, no characters canonically established as one gender in the source material are portrayed as a different gender in the film.

Race Swap: NoConfidence: High

The 1995 film "12 Monkeys" is an adaptation of the 1962 French short film "La Jetée." The main characters' races in the adaptation align with their portrayals in the original, and there are no instances where a character canonically established as one race is depicted as a different race.
