Center
Primary
The film's central focus on an individual's existential journey to find purpose and meaning in life, set against a backdrop of bureaucratic inertia, transcends specific political ideologies, positioning it as a neutral exploration of universal human themes.
The film 'Living' features a cast that includes some visible diversity, though it does not involve explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white main roles. Its narrative focuses on a personal existential journey and does not explicitly critique or negatively portray traditional identities.
Secondary
The film 'Living' does not feature identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative centers on a civil servant's existential journey after a terminal diagnosis, exploring themes of life, purpose, and legacy in 1950s London.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film "Living" is an adaptation of Akira Kurosawa's "Ikiru." All major characters in this adaptation retain the same gender as their counterparts in the original source material, with no instances of a character established as one gender being portrayed as another.
Living (2022) is an adaptation of Akira Kurosawa's Ikiru (1952), shifting the setting from 1950s Tokyo to 1950s London and creating new characters appropriate for this context. The film does not portray an established character of one race as a different race, but rather introduces new characters for its reimagined setting.
