Center

Primary

Political: Leans LeftConfidence: High

The film's central thesis critiques the unchecked power and systemic corruption of global financial institutions, highlighting the inadequacy of existing legal and governmental structures to hold them accountable, aligning with left-leaning anti-corporate narratives.

Diversity: LowConfidence: High

The movie features a predominantly white main cast, which aligns with traditional casting practices for its genre. The narrative primarily focuses on themes of corporate corruption and international intrigue, without explicitly critiquing or negatively framing traditional identities. The portrayal of characters, whether heroic or villainous, is driven by their roles in the plot rather than their demographic characteristics.

Secondary

LGBTQ: N/AConfidence: High

The International is a political thriller centered on corporate corruption and international intrigue. The film does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes, resulting in an N/A rating for its portrayal.

FemPower: NoConfidence: High

The film primarily features male characters in its action sequences. The main female character, Eleanor Whitman, is an attorney and does not engage in physical combat. No other female characters are depicted in significant action roles or close-quarters fights against male opponents.

Gender Swap: NoConfidence: High

The International is an original screenplay and does not adapt characters from pre-existing source material, historical records, or prior installments. All characters were created for this film, meaning there are no instances of a character's gender being changed from a previously established version.

Race Swap: NoConfidence: High

The International is an original film with original characters, not an adaptation of existing material or a biopic. Therefore, no character has a pre-established race from source material or history to be altered.
