Primary

The film's central narrative explicitly champions the breaking of traditional gender norms and the assertion of individual identity against societal expectations, which is a core tenet of progressive ideology. Its solution to societal constraints is individual defiance and self-determination.

The movie 'Calamity' features traditional casting without explicit race or gender swaps of historically white roles. Its narrative, however, centrally explores and critiques traditional gender norms through its protagonist's journey, highlighting themes of female independence and challenging societal expectations.

Secondary

Calamity portrays a young Martha Jane Cannary challenging rigid gender norms by adopting male attire and skills. The film positively depicts her journey of self-discovery and assertion of identity, framing societal prejudice as an external obstacle. It affirms her dignity, complexity, and agency, celebrating her gender non-conformity as a source of strength and authenticity.
