Leans Traditional
Primary
The film explores the complexities of divorce, changing gender roles, and parental responsibility from a humanistic perspective, balancing the viewpoints of both parents without explicitly promoting a specific political ideology. The narrative's solution emphasizes the child's well-being and individual adaptation rather than a broader political statement.
The movie features traditional casting with a focus on a white, mainstream family. Its narrative explores evolving gender roles within a conventional family structure, presenting traditional identities in a neutral or positive light without explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
Kramer vs. Kramer does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative centers entirely on the heterosexual marriage, divorce, and subsequent custody battle between Ted and Joanna Kramer, focusing on traditional family dynamics of the era.
Kramer vs. Kramer does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The film's narrative is entirely centered on a cisgender couple's divorce and the father's adaptation to single parenthood, with no elements related to transgender identity or experiences.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Kramer vs. Kramer is an original film with characters created specifically for its screenplay. There is no prior source material, historical basis, or previous installment from which character genders could have been established and subsequently swapped.
Kramer vs. Kramer is an adaptation of a novel where the characters were implicitly white. The 1979 film portrays these characters with white actors, consistent with the source material.
