Leans Traditional
Primary
The film explores universal themes of heroism, leadership, and human fallibility through a deconstruction of the Beowulf myth, focusing on personal moral struggles and the tragic consequences of deceit rather than promoting a specific political ideology.
The movie 'Beowulf' features traditional casting that aligns with its source material, primarily depicting white characters in a historical European setting. The narrative celebrates traditional heroic virtues and male prowess without critiquing traditional identities or incorporating explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
The film depicts Christianity as an emerging, civilizing force that eventually replaces the older, more violent pagan ways. While characters struggle with its ideals, the narrative frames its eventual triumph as a historical progression, offering a new moral framework.
Robert Zemeckis's 'Beowulf' is a fantasy action film centered on the legendary hero, monsters, and ancient Norse mythology. The narrative does not include any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes, leading to an N/A rating for its portrayal of queer identity.
The film features Grendel's Mother, a supernatural entity, who uses magic and seduction against Beowulf. However, she does not engage in or win any direct physical combat encounters against male opponents using skill, strength, or martial arts.
The 2007 film "Beowulf" adapts the Old English epic poem. All major characters, including Beowulf, Hrothgar, Grendel, and Grendel's Mother, retain their established genders from the source material. No character canonically established as one gender is portrayed as a different gender in the film.
The film adapts the Old English epic poem, which features characters of Northern European descent. All major characters in the 2007 movie are portrayed by actors and designed to reflect this original racial background, with no changes to established race.
