Leans Progressive
Primary
The film leans left by implicitly critiquing the moralistic judgment and exploitation faced by individuals in the adult entertainment industry, particularly through its portrayal of the 1980s 'Satanic Panic' era and the vulnerability of its characters.
The movie features a visible level of diversity within its supporting cast, though its central character is white and there are no explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. The narrative, a horror-thriller, does not focus on critiquing traditional identities or explicitly foregrounding DEI themes.
Secondary
MaXXXine features several LGBTQ+ coded characters, including an explicitly queer friend and pansexual sex workers. Their identities are present as part of the film's diverse character roster and gritty 1980s setting. The portrayal is neutral, as these identities are neither central to the plot nor used for strong positive affirmation or negative stereotyping.
The film portrays Evangelical Christianity through a critical and satirical lens, depicting certain Christian groups and a minister character as hypocritical and extremist. It mocks religious zealots who condemn Hollywood while engaging in violent cult rituals, aiming to expose contradictions within right-wing Christian activism during the 1980s.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film "MaXXXine" is a continuation of an original horror franchise. There is no indication that any established character from prior installments or any new character introduced in the film was canonically one gender and then portrayed as a different gender.
MaXXXine is an original film within a horror trilogy, not an adaptation of pre-existing material with established character races. There are no indications of characters, original or otherwise, being portrayed by a different race than previously established within a broader canon or historical context.
