Center
Primary
The film centers on the personal journey of a woman with a disability, emphasizing themes of love, memory, and individual growth rather than engaging in explicit political commentary on systemic issues, resulting in a neutral rating.
The film features a South Korean cast, which is typical for its production, and does not engage in explicit DEI-driven casting or race/gender swaps of traditionally white roles. The narrative portrays the male lead positively and does not explicitly critique traditional identities.
Secondary
Josée focuses on a heterosexual romance between a young man and a disabled woman. The narrative does not include any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters, relationships, or themes, thus offering no portrayal of queer identity.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film "Josée" (2020) is an adaptation of a Japanese short story and a previous film. The main characters, Josée and Young-seok, retain their established genders from the source material and prior adaptations.
The film "Josée" (2020) is a South Korean adaptation of a Japanese short story. While the characters' ethnicity and nationality shift from Japanese to Korean, both fall within the same broader East Asian racial category. This change does not meet the definition of a race swap, which excludes shifts where the broader racial category remains unchanged.
