Center
Primary
The film's central subject matter revolves around universal themes of family relationships and communication, which are largely apolitical. The narrative champions a solution of personal emotional honesty and acceptance within the family unit, rather than promoting any specific political ideology or societal critique, leading to a neutral rating.
The movie features a predominantly white main cast without explicit DEI-driven recasting. Its narrative centers on a personal family drama, exploring themes of connection and understanding, without critiquing traditional identities or making DEI themes central to its plot.
Secondary
Everybody's Fine features a central character, Frank, who discovers his deceased son, David, was gay. The narrative explores Frank's initial struggle with this revelation, culminating in his acceptance and understanding of David's full identity and life. The film ultimately affirms the worth of David's queer life and love through the respectful portrayal by his siblings and Frank's journey.
The 2009 film is a remake of the 1990 Italian movie "Stanno tutti bene." In the original, one of the sons, Guillaume, is an advertising executive. In the remake, the corresponding role of an advertising executive is portrayed by a daughter, Amy, constituting a gender swap for that character's role.
The film "Everybody's Fine" does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative focuses on a widower's journey to reconnect with his adult children and explore themes of family, communication, and the discrepancy between idealized and real lives, without touching upon transgender identity.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The 2009 film "Everybody's Fine" is a remake of the 1990 Italian film "Stanno tutti bene." A review of the main characters and their portrayals in both versions reveals no instances where a character's race was changed from the original source material.
