Center

Primary

Political: Leans LeftConfidence: High

The film's central conflict unequivocally condemns the political paranoia and government overreach of the McCarthy era, championing individual integrity and the defense of free speech against unjust persecution, which aligns with left-leaning historical critiques of the Red Scare.

Diversity: LowConfidence: High

The movie features primarily traditional casting with an overwhelmingly white main and supporting cast, consistent with its 1950s small-town setting. The narrative positively frames traditional identities and American values, without any explicit critique or central DEI themes.

Secondary

LGBTQ: N/AConfidence: High

The film 'The Majestic' does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on a heterosexual protagonist's journey of self-discovery and community in a 1950s small town, with no elements related to queer identity or experiences.

FemPower: N/R

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.

Gender Swap: NoConfidence: High

The Majestic is an original screenplay, not an adaptation of existing material or a biopic. All characters were created specifically for this film, meaning none were previously established with a different gender in any prior canon or historical record.

Race Swap: NoConfidence: High

The Majestic is an original film with characters created specifically for this production. There is no prior source material, historical record, or previous adaptation to establish a canonical race for any character, thus precluding a race swap.
