Leans Traditional
Primary
The film's subject matter and the director's known style suggest an apolitical narrative focused on entertainment and unique storytelling rather than explicit political commentary or ideological promotion.
The movie features traditional casting without explicit DEI-driven choices. Its narrative does not engage in critical portrayals of traditional identities or center strong DEI themes, aligning with typical filmmaking practices of its era.
Secondary
While specific plot details are scarce for this obscure film, Edward D. Wood Jr.'s characteristic narrative style often depicts a chaotic and indifferent universe. If Christian faith or prayer were present, it would likely be portrayed as ineffectual or futile in the face of the film's absurd realities, implicitly undermining its efficacy.
No information regarding a film titled 'Cleopatra Follies' directed by Edward D. Wood Jr. could be found. Consequently, there are no identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes to evaluate, resulting in an N/A rating for portrayal.
