Ghost in the Shell (2017)

The film leans left due to its dominant themes critiquing corporate exploitation and the manipulation of individual identity by powerful, unethical institutions, aligning with progressive concerns about social justice and corporate accountability.

The film's casting choice for its lead character, originally Japanese, was a point of significant controversy regarding diversity. Its narrative, however, primarily explores themes of identity and technology without explicitly critiquing traditional societal identities or making DEI themes central to its plot.
