Leans Progressive
Primary
The film focuses on universal themes of survival, human connection, and personal resilience in the face of extreme adversity, without engaging in political commentary or promoting any specific ideological viewpoint, thus remaining neutral.
The movie features significant DEI primarily through its casting choice, where a traditionally white role from the source material is explicitly recast with a Black actor. However, the narrative itself does not explicitly critique traditional identities or center on broader DEI themes, focusing instead on a survival and romance story.
Secondary
The character Ben Payne, described as white in the source novel, is portrayed by Idris Elba, a Black actor, in the film adaptation. This constitutes a race swap for a main character.
The Mountain Between Us is a survival drama centered on a heterosexual romance. The film does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes, resulting in no portrayal to evaluate.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film "The Mountain Between Us" is an adaptation of Charles Martin's novel. The main characters, Ben Payne and Ashley Knox, retain their original genders from the source material. No established characters from the novel were portrayed as a different gender in the film.
