Leans Left
Primary
The film explicitly celebrates the Chinese Communist Revolution and the establishment of the People's Republic of China, portraying the communist party as the liberators of the nation from oppression, which aligns with a central thesis promoting anti-capitalism and systemic revolutionary change.
The film, a Chinese historical drama, features casting that is traditional to its cultural and historical context, focusing on the accurate portrayal of Chinese figures rather than modern DEI-driven recasting. Its narrative celebrates its predominantly male historical leaders without critique, aligning with a neutral or positive framing of traditional identities.
Secondary
As a historical drama from 1949 focused on the political and military events surrounding the founding of the People's Republic of China, 'The Birth of New China' does not include any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative centers on historical figures and national events, leaving no space for such portrayals.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film is a historical drama depicting the founding of the People's Republic of China. It is highly improbable that any major historical figures, whose genders are well-documented, would be portrayed as a different gender in a 1989 Chinese production.
This historical film depicts the founding of the People's Republic of China. The characters portrayed are historical Chinese figures, and the casting aligns with their documented race, showing no instances of race swapping.
