Center
Primary
The film maintains a neutral stance by critiquing ideological extremism from both North and South Korean perspectives, ultimately championing pragmatic de-escalation and human connection as the solution to avert nuclear war.
The South Korean film 'Steel Rain' features an entirely East Asian cast, consistent with its setting and geopolitical narrative, without engaging in explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. The story focuses on political tensions and does not critique traditional Western identities or center explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
The film "Steel Rain" focuses on geopolitical tensions and a potential nuclear conflict between North and South Korea. Its narrative does not include any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters, themes, or plotlines, resulting in no depiction of queer identity.
The film's action sequences primarily involve male characters in military and intelligence roles. No female characters are depicted engaging in or winning close-quarters physical combat against male opponents.
The film "Steel Rain" is an adaptation of a webtoon. All major and named characters in the movie maintain the same gender as established in the original source material. There are no instances of a character canonically established as one gender being portrayed as a different gender.
Steel Rain is a South Korean film based on a webtoon by the director. All primary characters in both the source material and the film are depicted as East Asian (Korean), and the cast reflects this, with no characters established as one race being portrayed as another.
