Primary
The film is a romantic drama centered on individual relationships and personal growth, with its core subject matter and the nature of its problems and solutions remaining apolitical, thus not aligning with any specific political ideology.
The film 'After' demonstrates significant diversity through its casting choices, notably by recasting several traditionally white roles with minority actors, including Black and Biracial individuals, and also features a gender-swapped character. However, the narrative itself maintains a neutral stance, focusing on its core romantic drama without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or making DEI themes central to its plot.
Secondary
The film adaptation of "After" features several characters, including Landon Gibson, Karen Scott, and Steph Jones, who were canonically depicted as white in the source novels but are portrayed by actors of different races in the movie.

The film "After" does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Its narrative is solely centered on a heterosexual romance, thus there is no portrayal to evaluate regarding transsexual identity.
