Center
The film's central focus is on the personal and artistic struggles of an individual, exploring themes of ambition, trauma, and the challenges of maintaining integrity in a new society, rather than explicitly promoting a specific political ideology or offering a political solution.
The movie features visible diversity by centering its narrative on the struggles of a Hungarian Holocaust survivor and exploring themes of anti-Semitism, racism, and class imbalances in mid-20th century America. Its narrative explicitly critiques societal structures that perpetuate these issues, making DEI themes central to its storytelling.
The Brutalist does not feature identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative focuses on immigrant and Jewish identity, artistry, and political themes, with no significant LGBTQ+ presence indicated in the available information. Therefore, an evaluation of its LGBTQ+ portrayal is not applicable.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
