Leans Traditional
Primary
The film explores universal themes of ambition, temptation, and individual moral choice, focusing on personal responsibility and the constant battle against human failings rather than advocating for specific political or systemic changes.
The movie features a predominantly white main cast without explicit race or gender swaps for traditionally white roles. Its narrative explores themes of ambition and morality through characters who are white males, but it does not offer a critical portrayal of traditional identities or center DEI themes in its storytelling.
Secondary
The film uses Christian theology, personifying Satan as the antagonist who tempts the protagonist with power and wealth. The narrative ultimately affirms the importance of free will and moral integrity in resisting evil, aligning with Christian virtues. The devout Christian character (Kevin's mother) is portrayed sympathetically as a moral compass.
The Devil's Advocate does not include any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on heterosexual relationships and the moral corruption of its main protagonist, with no representation of queer identity or experiences.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film is an adaptation of Andrew Neiderman's novel. All major characters, including Kevin Lomax, Mary Ann Lomax, and John Milton, retain their established genders from the source material in the movie adaptation.
The film is an adaptation of a novel where the main characters' races were not explicitly defined but were implicitly portrayed as white. The film's casting aligns with these implicit portrayals, with no character's race being changed from a previously established or canonical depiction.
