Center

Primary

Political: CenterConfidence: High

The film critiques the corrupting nature of power and ambition within the political process, focusing on the universal moral compromises required to succeed rather than endorsing or condemning a specific political ideology. Its cynical portrayal of an idealist's transformation into a ruthless operative highlights a neutral critique of the system itself.

Diversity: ModerateConfidence: High

The movie features visible diversity in its supporting cast, but its primary roles are traditionally cast. The narrative focuses on political corruption and moral compromise, rather than explicitly critiquing traditional identities or centering DEI themes.

Secondary

LGBTQ: N/AConfidence: High

The Ides of March does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The story's focus is entirely on political ambition, corruption, and heterosexual relationships, leading to a determination of N/A for LGBTQ+ portrayal.

FemPower: N/R

Gender Swap: NoConfidence: High
