Leans Traditional
Primary
The film's central conflict critiques government overreach and champions individual privacy against a powerful, secretive state apparatus, aligning with a right-leaning (libertarian) skepticism of government power.
The movie features a prominent Black actor in the lead role, contributing to visible diversity in the cast. However, the narrative primarily focuses on themes of government surveillance and corruption, rather than explicitly critiquing traditional identities or centering on DEI themes.
Secondary
Enemy of the State does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses exclusively on a man's struggle against a corrupt government agency, rendering the portrayal of LGBTQ+ elements as not applicable.
The film "Enemy of the State" does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative focuses on a lawyer targeted by a corrupt government agency, exploring themes of surveillance and conspiracy without engaging with transgender identities or issues.
