Leans Progressive
Primary
The film leans left by centering its core conflict on the unethical and exploitative practices of a pharmaceutical corporation, presenting a clear critique of unchecked corporate power and its disregard for human life in the pursuit of profit.
The movie features a visibly diverse cast, reflecting a range of ethnic backgrounds among the characters trapped on the mysterious beach. However, the narrative primarily focuses on the psychological horror of rapid aging and family dynamics, without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or making broader DEI themes central to its plot.
Secondary
The film "Old" is an adaptation of the graphic novel "Sandcastle." Several characters, including the father of the main family, the doctor, and the psychologist, were depicted as white in the source material but are portrayed by actors of different races in the film.
The film portrays Christianity positively through the character of Patricia Carmichael, who openly practices her faith. Her prayers and belief in God are depicted as a sincere source of comfort and strength, helping her cope with the terrifying ordeal of rapid aging without being undermined or ridiculed by the narrative.
The film 'Old' does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on a group of heterosexual families experiencing rapid aging on a secluded beach, with no elements related to queer identity present in the story.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film "Old" is an adaptation of the graphic novel "Sandcastle." A review of the main characters in both the source material and the film reveals no instances where a character's established gender was changed for the screen adaptation.
