V for Vendetta is clearly left-leaning due to its explicit critique of a fascist, theocratic, and totalitarian government and its championing of a revolutionary, collective uprising as the solution to systemic oppression.
The movie features traditional casting with no explicit race or gender swaps of established roles. Its narrative focuses on political themes of totalitarianism and individual freedom, rather than explicitly critiquing traditional identities or centering on specific diversity, equity, and inclusion themes.
The film features significant LGBTQ+ characters whose persecution by the fascist regime underscores the story's central themes of oppression and resistance. Valerie Page's defiant love story and Gordon Deitrich's tragic fate are presented with profound empathy, affirming the worth of queer lives and love in the face of extreme bigotry. The net impact is strongly positive.
