Primary
The film "Hotel America" is a character-driven psychological drama focused on love, loss, and complex human relationships, which are inherently apolitical themes. It does not present a discernible political problem or advocate for an ideological solution, thus earning a neutral rating.
The movie features a traditional cast, predominantly white, without explicit race or gender swaps of established roles. Its narrative centers on the emotional lives of its characters, offering no critical portrayal of traditional identities or explicit engagement with diversity, equity, and inclusion themes.
Secondary
Hotel America features a bisexual protagonist and a gay supporting character. Their queer identities are presented as facets of their complex personalities, integrated into the narrative without being the central focus. The film neither explicitly affirms nor denigrates LGBTQ+ themes, maintaining a largely neutral stance as it explores intense personal relationships and psychological struggles.
The film "Hotel America" does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Its narrative primarily focuses on a heterosexual romantic relationship and themes of grief and social class, with no elements related to transgender identity.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Hotel America is an original film from 1981, not an adaptation of a pre-existing work or based on historical figures. All characters were created for this specific film, thus there are no instances of characters being portrayed with a different gender than previously established.
Hotel America (1981) is an original film, not an adaptation, biopic, or reboot. Its characters do not have a pre-established canonical or historical race from source material, making a race swap impossible by definition.
