Leans Right
Primary
The film's central narrative champions individual ingenuity and self-reliance as the solution to isolation and adversity, emphasizing the establishment of order and property through personal effort, which aligns with conservative values.
The movie 'Crusoe' utilizes traditional casting for its main characters, without any intentional race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. The narrative maintains a neutral or positive framing of traditional identities, focusing on survival and adventure rather than explicit DEI critiques.
Secondary
The character of Friday, canonically an indigenous person from the Caribbean in Daniel Defoe's novel, is portrayed by a Black actor in the 2008 series, constituting a race swap.
The TV series "Crusoe" does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative primarily focuses on Robinson Crusoe's survival on a deserted island and his relationship with Friday, with no elements related to queer identity or experiences.
The show "Crusoe" does not feature any female characters engaging in direct physical combat against male opponents. Female characters are present but are not depicted in significant action or combat roles.
The 2008 series "Crusoe" adapts Daniel Defoe's novel "Robinson Crusoe." All major characters from the source material, including Robinson Crusoe and Friday, retain their established male gender in the show. No canonical characters were portrayed with a different gender.
