Leans Left
Primary
The film is left-leaning due to its central conflict highlighting environmental destruction and corporate greed, advocating for the protection of vulnerable species and nature through empathy and individual transformation.
This film features casting that is traditional for its cultural origin, with no explicit DEI-driven recasting of roles. The narrative focuses on environmental themes, critiquing human greed and the destruction of nature, rather than explicitly targeting or negatively portraying traditional human identities. The male lead undergoes a redemptive arc, and while the film highlights the plight of a marginalized non-human group, it does not center on human identity politics.
Secondary
The film 'The Mermaid' does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes within its narrative. The story focuses on environmental issues and a heterosexual romantic comedy, resulting in no depiction of queer identity or experiences.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The Mermaid (2016) is an original film with characters created specifically for this production. There is no prior source material, historical record, or previous installment from which characters' genders could have been established differently. Therefore, no gender swaps occurred.
The Mermaid (2016) is an original film by Stephen Chow. All characters were created for this specific movie, meaning there is no prior source material, historical record, or previous installment to establish their race. Therefore, no race swaps occurred.
