Analyzing...
Leans Traditional
Primary
The film, an adaptation of Shakespeare's play, explores universal and apolitical themes of ambition, guilt, and the corrupting nature of power, focusing on the psychological descent of its protagonist rather than promoting a specific modern political ideology.
The movie features predominantly traditional casting for its main roles, without intentional race or gender swaps of traditionally white characters. Its narrative, a faithful adaptation of Shakespeare's play, focuses on the original themes of ambition and power, rather than incorporating explicit critiques of traditional identities or strong DEI themes.
Secondary
The film uses a Christian moral framework to underscore Macbeth's tragic fall. His descent into tyranny and guilt is presented as a violation of divine and moral order, reinforcing the importance of virtues often associated with the faith. The narrative aligns with the dignity of these virtues by showing the destructive consequences of their absence.
Justin Kurzel's adaptation of Macbeth does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative remains faithful to the source material, focusing on the ambition and psychological descent of its central characters without incorporating queer identities or storylines.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The 2015 film adaptation of Shakespeare's Macbeth maintains the established genders for all its named characters, consistent with the original play. No characters canonically, historically, or widely established as one gender are portrayed as a different gender.
The film is an adaptation of Shakespeare's play, set in 11th-century Scotland. All major characters, historically understood as white, are portrayed by white actors in the 2015 film, thus containing no instances of race swapping.
