Leans Right
Primary
The film primarily focuses on apolitical themes of coming-of-age, first love, and individual ambition, with its central conflicts resolved through personal agency and emotional connection rather than an explicit promotion of any specific political ideology.
The movie features primarily traditional casting, with its main characters and most of its supporting cast being white, and does not include explicit race or gender swaps. The narrative focuses on the personal experiences of its protagonists in the 1970s, without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or centering DEI themes.
Secondary
Licorice Pizza includes a very brief, implied depiction of a gay character, Lance, whose presence is incidental to the main narrative. This portrayal is neither supportive nor denigrating, lacking depth or significant impact on the overall story, resulting in a neutral net impact.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Licorice Pizza is an original story with no prior source material or established characters whose gender could be swapped. Characters based on real historical figures maintain their documented gender.
Licorice Pizza is an original film with characters created specifically for this production. There is no prior source material, historical record, or established canon for its characters to compare against, thus precluding any race swaps.
