Leans Right
Primary
The film champions individual, 'old-school' heroism and common sense as the solution to a complex, modern threat that overwhelms government institutions, reflecting a skepticism of modern systems and a preference for traditional virtues.
The movie features a predominantly white main cast and protagonist, with some visible diversity among supporting characters, but no explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. Its narrative positively frames traditional identities and does not incorporate explicit DEI critiques or themes.
Secondary
Live Free or Die Hard does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The film's plot and character arcs are entirely devoid of queer representation, resulting in a 'N/A' rating for its portrayal of LGBTQ+ elements.
The film features Mai Lihn, a skilled antagonist who engages in physical confrontations with John McClane. While capable, she does not achieve a victory over him in direct physical combat. Lucy McClane is primarily a hostage and does not engage in combat.
Live Free or Die Hard introduces new characters and continues established ones like John McClane. No characters who were canonically, historically, or widely established as one gender are portrayed as a different gender in this film.
Live Free or Die Hard is a sequel in an established film series. All returning legacy characters maintain their original race, and new characters introduced in this installment do not constitute race swaps.
