Strong Right

Primary

Political: CenterConfidence: High

The film explores universal themes of love, desire, and betrayal, dissecting the complexities and destructive nature of human relationships without advocating for a specific political or social ideology.

Diversity: LowConfidence: High

The film features a traditional cast with no explicit diversity or race/gender swaps of roles. Its narrative focuses on the complexities of human relationships and individual flaws, without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or incorporating DEI themes as central to its story.

Secondary

LGBTQ: NegativeConfidence: High

The film 'Closer' portrays LGBTQ+ themes negatively, using gay identity as a tool for manipulation and deception. A character uses a gay chat room to trick another, leading to humiliation and the use of 'gay' as an insult. This depiction lacks any positive counterbalance, associating LGBTQ+ themes with trickery and degradation within the narrative's exploration of infidelity.

FemPower: N/R

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.

Gender Swap: NoConfidence: High

The film "Closer" is an adaptation of Patrick Marber's 1997 play. All four main characters—Dan, Alice, Anna, and Larry—retain their original genders from the source material in the 2004 movie adaptation. No character established as one gender in the play is portrayed as a different gender on screen.

Race Swap: NoConfidence: High

The film "Closer" (2004) is an adaptation of a play where the characters' races were not explicitly defined. The actors cast for the main roles align with the typical portrayals and do not represent a change from a previously established race.
