Primary
Based solely on the title "Ghostly Love," the film's core subject matter appears to be apolitical, focusing on themes of romance and the supernatural rather than explicit political ideologies. Without further plot details, there is no basis to assign a political bias.
Based on the limited information provided, which includes only the movie title and director, a neutral assessment was made for both casting diversity and narrative framing. Without specific details on character roles, cast composition, or thematic content, no explicit DEI elements or traditional portrayals could be identified.
Secondary
The film features a central character who was a man in a past life and is now a woman via reincarnation, forming the basis of a romantic plot. This supernatural gender change functions as a unique plot device for a love story, neither affirming nor denigrating transsexual identity in a broader sense.
The film features a female ghost character who engages in and wins physical fights against male opponents. Her victories are achieved through her enhanced agility and martial arts skills in direct combat.
Buddhist monks and rituals are depicted as effective and benevolent forces against malevolent spirits, offering spiritual protection and guidance within the film's narrative. Their practices are shown to be genuinely powerful in combating supernatural threats.
