Primary
Donnie Brasco is a character-driven crime drama focusing on the psychological toll of an undercover FBI agent's mission. The film remains politically neutral by depicting the grim realities of organized crime and law enforcement without explicitly promoting any specific progressive or conservative ideology.
The movie features a predominantly white cast, consistent with its historical setting and the ethnic group it depicts, without any intentional recasting of roles for diversity. The narrative focuses on the complexities of its white, male characters within a crime drama, exploring themes of loyalty and identity without engaging in explicit critique of traditional identities or incorporating DEI themes.
Secondary
The film portrays characters who are nominally Christian (Catholic) but whose criminal lives of violence, betrayal, and extortion are in direct opposition to Christian teachings.
