Leans Right
Primary
The film explores the profound trauma of institutional child abuse and the subsequent quest for justice and revenge, but it remains neutral by focusing on the moral complexities of extra-legal solutions and the bonds of loyalty rather than promoting a specific political ideology or systemic reform.
The movie features traditional casting, predominantly with white male characters, consistent with its historical setting. The narrative focuses on themes of justice and revenge without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or centering on broader DEI themes.
Secondary
The film depicts the brutal sexual abuse of young boys by male guards in a reform school. While the abuse is homosexual in nature, the narrative does not explore LGBTQ+ characters or themes related to identity, relationships, or societal issues. The film's central focus is on child abuse, trauma, and revenge, rather than sexual orientation or gender identity.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film "Sleepers" is an adaptation of Lorenzo Carcaterra's novel. All main and supporting characters in the movie retain the same gender as established in the source material. There are no instances of characters whose gender was changed from their canonical or historical representation.
The film "Sleepers" is an adaptation of a novel where the main characters are established as Italian-American. The on-screen portrayals align with the characters' established race, with no instances of a character being depicted as a different race than in the source material.
