Leans Traditional
Primary
The film explores complex intergenerational family dynamics, maternal responsibility, and LGBTQ+ family structures through a humanistic lens, focusing on emotional and personal storytelling rather than promoting a specific political ideology.
The movie features visible character diversity through its inclusion of a lesbian couple seeking parenthood and explores themes of women's reproductive autonomy and intergenerational family dynamics. While it touches on casual homophobia and critiques traditional family expectations, these elements are integrated into a broader family drama rather than explicitly centralizing a negative portrayal of traditional identities.
Secondary
The film portrays a lesbian couple whose deaths serve as a tragic backdrop and plot device for the cisgender protagonist's emotional journey. Critics highlight the use of the 'dead lesbian' trope and the superficial treatment of the queer characters, whose lives and identities are not explored in depth, ultimately serving a narrative focused elsewhere.
Daughter's Daughter (2024) focuses on queer experiences, particularly bisexuality and multiverse themes, as highlighted in festival recaps. However, there is no evidence to suggest the film portrays transsexual characters or addresses the transsexual community within its story or character arcs.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film "Daughter's Daughter" is an original drama. All characters, including Jin Aixia, Emma, and Fan Zuer, are consistently portrayed with the gender established within the film's own narrative and descriptions. There is no indication of any character's on-screen gender differing from a prior canonical or historical establishment.
The film is an original screenplay, meaning its characters are new creations without pre-established racial identities from prior source material. Therefore, no character's race could have been swapped.
