Center
Primary
The film balances the threat of foreign adversaries with a strong critique of government institutions and the necessity of individual action against systemic corruption, resulting in a politically neutral stance.
The movie features a gender-swapped lead role and visible diversity within its supporting cast. Its narrative, however, maintains a traditional framing, focusing on espionage without critiquing traditional identities or centering on explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
The film features Evelyn Salt, a highly trained operative, who repeatedly engages in and wins close-quarters physical fights against multiple male opponents, including guards, agents, and the primary antagonist, using martial arts and combat skills.
The action-thriller 'Salt' does not feature any explicit LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses entirely on its espionage plot, without incorporating elements related to queer identity or experiences.
The character of Evelyn Salt was an original creation for the film. While the role was initially conceived for a male actor, the character as developed and portrayed on screen was female from its inception, not a gender swap of a pre-existing, established character from prior canon or history.
Salt (2010) is an original film with characters created specifically for this production. There is no prior source material, historical basis, or previous installments where characters' races were established. Therefore, no character could have been race-swapped.
