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.
The film features Evey Hammond as the primary female character, but she does not engage in direct physical combat against male opponents. Her role involves being rescued, tortured, and assisting V, but not fighting. No other female characters participate in combat.
The film is an adaptation of the comic series, and all major characters, including V, Evey, and Inspector Finch, maintain the same gender as established in the original source material. No characters canonically established as one gender were portrayed as a different gender.
