Strong Right

Primary

Political: CenterConfidence: High

The film's central conflict revolves around personal freedom and comedic rebellion against a specific, petty authority figure, rather than engaging with broader political ideologies or systemic critiques, leading to a neutral rating.

Diversity: LowConfidence: High

The movie features traditional casting with a predominantly white male lead ensemble and does not incorporate intentional race or gender swaps. Its narrative largely presents traditional identities in a neutral or positive light, without engaging in any explicit critique or central DEI themes.

Secondary

LGBTQ: NegativeConfidence: High

Old School's portrayal of LGBTQ+ themes is primarily negative. The film uses implied non-heteronormative situations and same-sex interactions for crude comedic effect and discomfort, such as in hazing rituals or jokes about a character's past. These instances lack dignity or positive representation, contributing to a problematic depiction.

FemPower: N/R

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.

Gender Swap: NoConfidence: High

Old School is an original film with no pre-existing source material, historical figures, or prior adaptations. All characters were created for this movie, meaning none had a previously established gender to be swapped.

Race Swap: NoConfidence: High

The film "Old School" is an original production with characters created specifically for the movie. There is no prior source material, historical basis, or previous installments from which character races could be established and subsequently changed.
