Leans Progressive
Primary
The film's dominant themes align with progressive values through its critique of capitalist power dynamics and exploration of immigrant struggles, though its political commentary is noted as sometimes vague, preventing a more explicit ideological rating.
The movie features visible diversity through its focus on the immigrant experience and the inclusion of Jewish characters, exploring themes of assimilation and cultural identity. Its narrative delves into societal pressures and human resilience, presenting a subtle engagement with DEI themes without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or engaging in explicit DEI-driven casting.
Secondary
The film explores Jewish identity, authenticity, and internal community tensions with nuance and depth. While its stance on Zionism remains ambiguous, the narrative engages respectfully with the complexities of the faith and its adherents.
The Brutalist does not feature identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative primarily explores immigrant experiences and artistic endeavors, with discussions of queer identity in contemporary cinema pertaining to other films, not this one directly.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film "The Brutalist" is presented as an original work from 2024. The characters, including László and Erzsébet, are new creations for this movie, and there is no indication they are adapted from prior source material or historical figures with established genders.

The film "The Brutalist" is presented as an original story focusing on Jewish refugees in postwar America. There is no indication it is an adaptation of a pre-existing work with established characters or a biopic of specific historical figures whose race could be altered.
