The film is Left-Leaning (-1) because its central conflict explicitly critiques corporate greed and systemic economic injustice against vulnerable elderly citizens, aligning with progressive values, even though the solution involves individual direct action rather than political reform.
The movie demonstrates visible diversity in its main cast, featuring a prominent Black actor in a leading role, though this does not involve explicit race-swapping of traditionally white characters. The narrative focuses on themes of economic injustice and aging, portraying its traditional male protagonists neutrally and sympathetically, rather than engaging in explicit DEI critiques.
The character Willie, portrayed by Lee Strasberg (White) in the 1979 original film, is portrayed by Morgan Freeman (Black) in the 2017 remake, constituting a race swap.
The film "Going in Style" does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses exclusively on the experiences of three elderly, heterosexual male protagonists and their efforts to reclaim their pensions, with no elements related to queer identity or issues present in the story.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The 2017 film is a remake of the 1979 movie. The three main protagonists, Joe, Willie, and Al, remain male in both versions, consistent with the original source material. No significant characters were gender-swapped.
