Center
Primary
The film's core narrative focuses on the universal human experiences of pursuing artistic dreams, making personal sacrifices, and navigating love, without explicitly promoting or critiquing specific political ideologies.
The film features a cast with visible diversity in supporting roles, though its primary leads are white. The narrative focuses on the personal and professional journeys of its protagonists without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or centering DEI themes.
Secondary
La La Land centers on the love story and professional journeys of its two heterosexual protagonists, Mia and Sebastian. The film does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters, storylines, or themes, thus offering no direct portrayal or engagement with queer identity within its narrative.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
La La Land is an original film with no pre-existing source material, historical figures, or legacy characters. All characters were newly created for this production, meaning there are no instances of a character's gender being changed from a prior established version.
La La Land is an original film with new characters, not an adaptation of existing material or a biopic. Therefore, no characters were previously established as a specific race to be 'swapped.'
