Leans Left
Primary
The film is a scathing, satirical critique of Dick Cheney's rise to power and his role in the Bush administration, explicitly promoting a progressive ideology through its systemic critique of unchecked executive power and the motivations behind the Iraq War.
The movie features traditional casting that accurately reflects historical figures, without intentional race or gender swaps. However, its narrative strongly critiques powerful white male figures, portraying their actions and characters negatively through satire, making this a central theme.
Secondary
Vice acknowledges Mary Cheney's lesbian identity and relationship, using it to highlight Dick Cheney's political pragmatism and family dynamics. The portrayal is factual and avoids denigration, but it doesn't deeply explore her personal experience, making its overall impact on LGBTQ+ themes neutral.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
