Leans Progressive
Primary
The film primarily functions as a high-concept comedy exploring the challenges of spending a vast sum of money under restrictive rules, rather than promoting a specific political ideology. While it touches on themes of wealth and features an anti-establishment 'none of the above' political campaign, these elements are presented for comedic effect and do not align with a clear left or right agenda.
The movie features significant DEI through the explicit racial recasting of the lead role, originally a white character, with a Black actor. However, its narrative primarily focuses on a comedic premise and does not explicitly critique traditional identities or center strong DEI themes.
Secondary
The lead character, Montgomery Brewster, originally depicted as white in the source novel and previous adaptations, is portrayed by Richard Pryor, a Black actor, in the 1985 film.
Brewster's Millions (1985) does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The film's narrative centers entirely on the protagonist's challenge to spend a large sum of money within a strict timeframe to inherit a much larger fortune, with no elements related to queer identity.
Brewster's Millions (1985) does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The film's plot is entirely centered on the protagonist's challenge to spend a large sum of money within a strict timeframe to secure a much larger inheritance, without any elements related to gender identity.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The 1985 film "Brewster's Millions" is an adaptation of the 1902 novel. Key characters, including Montgomery Brewster and Angela Drake, maintain their established genders from the source material, with no significant gender changes for named roles.
