Traditional
Primary
The film explicitly promotes a conservative Christian ideology by depicting a dystopian world where faith is suppressed by a godless regime, championing unwavering spiritual resilience and traditional morality as the ultimate form of resistance.
The film features traditional casting with limited representation of diverse ethnicities in leading roles. Its narrative primarily focuses on spiritual and philosophical themes from a conservative Christian perspective, emphasizing individual choices and faith without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or advocating for systemic DEI changes.
Secondary
The film adapts the biblical Book of Job, where the central figure, Job, is traditionally understood as a Middle Eastern man. The film's protagonist, Kevin Garner, who parallels Job, is portrayed by a white actor, constituting a race swap.
The film is explicitly Christian-themed, portraying the protagonist's faith as a source of strength and resilience through trials. The narrative aligns with the virtues of perseverance and trust in God's sovereignty, echoing the biblical Book of Job.
The movie *The Shift* (2023) does not portray or focus on the LGBTQ community within its narrative. The plot centers on a heterosexual couple and themes of faith and redemption, with no significant depiction or discussion of LGBTQ+ characters or issues in the story.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film features original characters created for the screenplay, none of whom correspond to specific individuals from the Book of Job or any other canonical source with an established gender. Therefore, no gender swaps occur.
