Strong Left
Primary
The film's central thesis explicitly promotes progressive ideology by critiquing an attempted fascist coup orchestrated by wealthy elites and championing democratic values, racial inclusivity, and the exposure of corporate corruption.
The movie demonstrates significant DEI through its intentional casting, featuring a Black actor in a co-lead role for a period piece. While the narrative critiques a powerful elite, it does not explicitly center on a strong DEI critique of traditional identities, instead focusing on themes of corruption and fascism.
Secondary
Amsterdam features subtle, implied LGBTQ+ representation through characters like Paul Canterbury and the subtextual relationship between Valerie Voze and Irma St. Clair. These elements are present but not central to the narrative, neither explicitly affirming nor denigrating queer identity. The film's portrayal is incidental, avoiding strong positive or negative arcs, thus resulting in a neutral net impact.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film "Amsterdam" features an original story and characters created for the movie, even though it draws inspiration from historical events. There are no characters who were previously established in source material, prior adaptations, or historical record with a different gender than their portrayal in this film.
The film features original characters within a historical fiction setting. Characters inspired by real historical figures are portrayed by actors of the same race. No established characters from prior canon or history are depicted as a different race.
