Leans Progressive
Primary
The film's central thesis, exploring the lingering impact of Japanese imperialism and colonialism through a metaphorical excavation of historical atrocities, aligns with progressive values of anti-colonialism and addressing systemic historical injustice.
The film's casting reflects its South Korean cultural context, presenting a diverse range of characters in terms of age and social roles without engaging in explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. Its narrative explores social commentary on generational divides and class distinctions within Korean society, rather than explicitly critiquing traditional identities.
Secondary
The film integrates Buddhist motifs as part of Korea's complex spiritual landscape, using them to explore themes of collective trauma and ancestral reverence, suggesting a respectful and nuanced portrayal.
Exhuma does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The film's narrative is centered on supernatural horror, shamanism, and historical trauma, with no explicit or implicit inclusion of LGBTQ+ representation according to available reviews and summaries.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film's characters, including prominent figures like Hwa-rim, are portrayed in their original gender identities consistent with the narrative. There is no indication of any character being a gender-swapped version of a pre-existing canonical or historical figure.
The film is an original story deeply rooted in Korean cultural and historical context, focusing on Korean and Korean-American characters. There is no indication it adapts pre-existing material with established racial identities or portrays historical figures with altered races.
