Leans Right
Primary
The film's central focus is on individual psychological growth and the pursuit of personal fulfillment through self-discovery and choice, rather than promoting a specific political ideology or advocating for systemic change, leading to a neutral rating.
The movie features a predominantly traditional cast, with no explicit DEI-driven casting decisions. Its narrative centers on the personal journeys of its white male protagonists, framing traditional identities neutrally or positively without incorporating explicit DEI critiques or themes as central to the story.
Secondary
Good Will Hunting's narrative is entirely focused on the personal and romantic relationships of its heterosexual characters. The film does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters, themes, or discussions, resulting in no portrayal of queer identity.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Good Will Hunting is an original screenplay, not an adaptation or a biopic. All characters were created specifically for this film, meaning there is no prior canon or historical baseline against which to assess a gender swap.
