Center
Primary
The film's central conflict involves a rogue government faction planning a false flag operation, a critique of corruption and unchecked power that appeals broadly across the political spectrum. The solution is individual action to stop the immediate threat, rather than advocating for a specific ideological or systemic change.
The movie includes a diverse supporting cast member in a significant role. Its narrative centers on a strong female protagonist, which was notable for the action genre at the time, and does not present a critical portrayal of traditional identities.
Secondary
The film features Samantha Caine, an amnesiac who rediscovers her past as a highly skilled operative. She repeatedly engages in and wins close-quarters physical combat against multiple male opponents, demonstrating proficiency in hand-to-hand fighting and the use of melee weapons.
The film "The Long Kiss Goodnight" does not include any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Consequently, there is no specific portrayal to evaluate, leading to an N/A rating for its impact on LGBTQ+ representation.
The Long Kiss Goodnight is an original screenplay and does not adapt any pre-existing material or feature historical figures. All characters were created for this film, thus no gender swaps occurred.
The Long Kiss Goodnight is an original film with characters created specifically for it. There is no prior source material, historical record, or previous installment from which character races could have been established and subsequently changed.
