Leans Traditional
Primary
The film champions individual free will and autonomy against a powerful, paternalistic, and controlling bureaucratic entity, aligning with a right-leaning skepticism of centralized authority and an emphasis on personal liberty.
The film includes visible diversity in its supporting cast, featuring a prominent role played by a Black actor. However, the central narrative does not explicitly engage with DEI themes, nor does it critique traditional identities, instead focusing on an existential and romantic conflict.
Secondary
The Adjustment Bureau does not feature any explicit LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative centers on a heterosexual romance and themes of free will, with no discernible LGBTQ+ portrayal.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film adapts a short story, introducing new characters and altering some details, but no established character from the source material who was canonically male or female is portrayed as a different gender in the film.
The film is an adaptation of a short story where the characters' races were not explicitly defined or visually depicted in the source material. Therefore, the casting choices do not constitute a race swap.
