Primary
The film's core conflict revolves around a threat to national security and global stability, which is resolved through the individual heroism of James Bond. This emphasis on upholding the established order and individual responsibility, despite the villain's complex motivations rooted in state betrayal, aligns with traditional conservative values.
The movie demonstrates significant DEI through the explicit gender recasting of the traditionally male role of M with a female actress. However, its narrative maintains a traditional framing of its protagonist and does not explicitly critique traditional identities.
Secondary
The film features Xenia Onatopp, an assassin who uses her physical prowess to defeat a male opponent in close-quarters combat. Her method involves a unique form of strangulation using her legs, resulting in a clear victory.
The character of M, the head of MI6, was historically and canonically portrayed as male in previous James Bond films and source material. In GoldenEye, the role was recast with Judi Dench, portraying M as female, which constitutes a gender swap.
GoldenEye does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on traditional espionage tropes without exploring queer identities or experiences, resulting in no portrayal to evaluate.
GoldenEye does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or explore themes related to transsexual identity. The film's plot and character arcs are entirely unrelated to this topic, resulting in no depiction.
GoldenEye introduced a new M (Judi Dench), which was a gender change from previous portrayals, but not a race change as all prior actors were white. All other legacy characters maintained their established race, and new characters do not qualify as race swaps.
