Center
Primary
The film's highly abstract, surreal, and existential themes, focusing on life, death, and the nature of reality, do not align with any specific political ideology or offer a discernible political problem or solution.
The movie features anthropomorphic cat characters, which renders the evaluation of human racial or gender representation inapplicable. Its surreal and abstract narrative does not engage with or critique traditional human identities or explicit DEI themes, focusing instead on existential and non-human experiences.
Secondary
The film depicts Jizo, a benevolent Buddhist deity, as the entity who takes Nyāko's soul, initiating a surreal and often disturbing journey through a chaotic world. This portrayal subverts Jizo's traditional role as a protector and contributes to the film's overall sense of existential dread and the arbitrary nature of life and death, without offering any counterbalancing positive spiritual message.
Cat Soup is a highly abstract and surreal animated short film that delves into themes of life, death, and perception. Its narrative focuses on a bizarre journey through a dreamlike world, without featuring any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or thematic elements.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film "Cat Soup" features its main characters, Nyāko and Nyatta, consistent with their established genders from the original manga. There are no instances of characters canonically, historically, or widely established as one gender being portrayed as a different gender in this adaptation.
The film's characters are anthropomorphic cats, not human. The concept of human race, and thus a 'race swap' as defined, does not apply to these animal characters.
