Traditional
Primary
The film is a dark, character-driven tragedy that meticulously explores the devastating consequences of individual moral failings, greed, and desperation within a family, without offering systemic critiques or political solutions.
The film features a predominantly white cast without any explicit race or gender swaps of traditional roles. Its narrative explores themes of greed and desperation through its characters, but does not offer a specific critique of traditional identities or incorporate explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
The film portrays Andy Hanson's bisexuality as a secret, financially burdensome aspect of his life, contributing to his desperation and involvement in a tragic crime. His queer identity is intertwined with his downfall, presented without affirmation or dignity, and linked to problematic outcomes.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
This film is an original screenplay with no pre-existing source material, historical figures, or legacy characters. All characters were created for this specific film, thus precluding any gender swaps from prior established versions.
This film is an original screenplay, not an adaptation of existing source material or a biopic. All characters were created specifically for this movie, meaning there is no prior canonical or historical racial establishment to be altered.
