Leans Left
Primary
The film's dominant themes align with left-leaning values by critiquing systemic societal neglect and economic inequality as the primary drivers of individual breakdown and social unrest, portraying the wealthy elite as out of touch and contributing to the problem.
The movie features visible diversity in its supporting cast, though it does not explicitly recast traditionally white roles. Its narrative offers an indirect critique of societal power structures and wealth disparity, embodied by certain traditional figures, but this critique is not explicitly centered on identity-based DEI themes.
Secondary
Joker does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative centers on mental health, societal neglect, and class struggle, with no elements related to queer identity or experiences.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film 'Joker' (2019) features established DC Comics characters like Joker, Thomas Wayne, Bruce Wayne, and Alfred Pennyworth, all of whom retain their canonical male gender. Other significant characters are original to this film and do not represent gender-swapped versions of pre-existing figures.
The film features established DC Comics characters like Joker and Thomas Wayne, who are portrayed by actors of the same race as their canonical depictions. Original characters or minor roles do not meet the criteria for a race swap.
