Leans Left
The film's central thesis explicitly promotes progressive ideology by focusing on the critique of an oppressive, deceptive authoritarian regime and championing the fight for marginalized groups against systemic injustice.
The movie demonstrates significant DEI through its explicit casting choices, notably featuring a Black actress in a central, iconic role. Furthermore, its narrative strongly critiques established power structures and traditional authority figures, portraying them negatively as central antagonists.
The film adaptation of 'Wicked' does not feature any explicitly identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes within its primary narrative. While the source material's themes of 'otherness' resonate with the LGBTQ+ community, the movie does not present any direct representation.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
