Leans Traditional
Primary
The film's central subject matter is a comedic, farcical race against Lewis and Clark, focusing on the incompetence of its protagonists and the absurdity of their quest rather than any discernible political agenda, leading to a neutral rating.
The movie features a predominantly white cast with its main protagonists being white males, consistent with traditional casting practices. The narrative focuses on these traditional identities without offering any critical portrayal or incorporating explicit DEI themes into its comedic plot.
Secondary
The film "Almost Heroes" does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on the comedic misadventures of two explorers in the American wilderness, with no elements related to queer identity or experiences present in the story.
The film is a comedy focused on two male protagonists' bumbling expedition. There are no significant female characters depicted engaging in or winning close-quarters physical combat against male opponents.
The film features original characters inspired by the historical Lewis and Clark expedition. The historical figure Sacagawea is portrayed as female, consistent with her documented gender. No established characters from source material or history have their gender changed.
Almost Heroes is an original film with characters created specifically for its screenplay. There are no pre-existing canonical or historical figures whose race could have been altered for this production.
