Leans Progressive
Primary
The film's central thesis is a powerful critique of systemic social injustice and class oppression, explicitly promoting revolutionary ideals and compassion for the downtrodden over rigid adherence to law and order.
The film 'Les Misérables' features a predominantly traditional cast without intentional race or gender swaps of established roles. Its narrative focuses on social injustice and redemption within a historical context, framing traditional identities neutrally or positively rather than offering explicit DEI critiques.
Secondary
The film portrays Christianity, particularly through Bishop Myriel's mercy and Jean Valjean's subsequent life of self-sacrifice, as a profound force for good. It affirms core Christian virtues like forgiveness, charity, and compassion as essential for moral transformation and true justice.
Tom Hooper's adaptation of Les Misérables does not include any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on heterosexual relationships and broader social justice issues, resulting in no depiction of queer identity within the film's scope.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The 2012 film adaptation of "Les Misérables" maintains the established genders of all its major characters as depicted in Victor Hugo's novel and the stage musical, with no instances of gender swapping.
The film adapts Victor Hugo's novel, set in 19th-century France. All major characters, canonically established as white in the source material and historical context, are portrayed by white actors in this adaptation. No instances of a character's race being changed from the source material were identified.
