Center
Primary
The film is left-leaning due to its central critique of rigid class hierarchy and the oppressive nature of upper-class societal expectations, which are championed through Rose's rebellion and the sympathetic portrayal of the lower classes.
The movie features primarily traditional casting without explicit race or gender swaps of roles. Its narrative focuses on a romantic drama and class struggle, without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or making DEI themes central to its plot.
Secondary
The film portrays Christian faith as a source of comfort and solace during the sinking, particularly through the actions of the priest who offers prayers and hymns. While some characters may exhibit hypocrisy, the narrative itself does not condemn the faith, but rather highlights its role in providing hope and community in the face of death.
Titanic does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative is centered entirely on heterosexual relationships and experiences, resulting in no portrayal of queer identity within the film.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film features original fictional characters and accurately portrays the historical gender of real figures. There are no instances where a character, established in prior canon or history as one gender, is depicted as a different gender.
The film features original fictional characters and historical figures whose on-screen portrayals align with their documented historical race. There are no instances of a character established as one race being portrayed as a different race.
