Center
Primary
The film's central conflict revolves around classic wuxia themes of protecting a legendary artifact and upholding honor against a clear villain, focusing on apolitical concepts of good versus evil and personal responsibility rather than specific political ideologies.
The film features a diverse cast appropriate to its Wuxia genre and Asian cultural setting, without engaging in explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. Its narrative focuses on themes of martial arts and honor, and does not explicitly critique traditional identities or center DEI themes.
Secondary
The film features multiple female characters, including Shu Lien and Snow Vase, who are highly skilled martial artists. They are repeatedly shown engaging in and winning close-quarters physical combat against numerous male opponents using various melee weapons and hand-to-hand techniques.
The film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny" does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative focuses on traditional wuxia elements, including heterosexual romance, honor, and martial arts, with no depiction of queer identity or relationships.
The film is a sequel that primarily introduces new characters and continues the story of Yu Shu Lien, who maintains her original gender. No established characters from previous installments or source material undergo a gender change.
The film features original characters and returning characters, all of whom are portrayed by actors of East Asian or mixed East Asian descent, consistent with the source material and setting. No established character's race was changed.
