Primary

Political: CenterConfidence: High

The film's central subject matter revolves around supernatural horror and a mysterious curse, which are inherently apolitical themes, and its narrative does not explicitly promote or critique any specific political ideology or social system.

Diversity: LowConfidence: High

The movie features traditional casting with a predominantly white main cast and no intentional race or gender swaps. Its narrative focuses on supernatural horror and does not engage in critical portrayals of traditional identities or explicitly centralize DEI themes.

Race Swap: YesConfidence: High

The 2002 American film "The Ring" is a remake of the Japanese film "Ringu" (1998) and novel. Key characters, originally Japanese (East Asian) in the source material, are portrayed by white actors in this adaptation, constituting multiple race swaps.

LGBTQ: N/AConfidence: High

Gender Swap: NoConfidence: High
