Leans Traditional
Primary
The film's core conflict, a neo-noir murder mystery set in a high school drug ring, lacks inherent political valence, and its focus on individual agency within a morally ambiguous world does not explicitly champion either progressive or conservative ideologies.

Secondary
The film 'Brick' does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative is entirely focused on a neo-noir mystery involving high school students, drug dealing, and betrayal, without engaging with queer identity in any capacity.
The film "Brick" does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes.
