Leans Traditional
Primary
The film's central focus on the universal themes of ambition, guilt, and the corrupting nature of power transcends specific modern political ideologies, leading to a neutral rating. Its narrative explores the destructive consequences of tyranny and the restoration of order without explicitly promoting a particular political viewpoint.
This adaptation of Macbeth features traditional casting without intentional race or gender swaps for diversity. The narrative focuses on the play's original themes of ambition and tragedy, without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or incorporating modern DEI themes.
Secondary
The film implicitly affirms the moral and divine order associated with Christianity, depicting the devastating consequences of violating sacred oaths and committing regicide. The narrative aligns with the idea that defying these tenets leads to spiritual and societal decay.
Roman Polanski's 'Macbeth' does not depict any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The film faithfully adapts the source material, focusing on themes of ambition, power, and guilt within a traditional heterosexual framework.
Roman Polanski's 1971 film adaptation of Shakespeare's Macbeth does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative focuses on ambition, power, and the supernatural within a historical Scottish setting, without engaging with modern concepts of gender identity.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film is a direct adaptation of Shakespeare's play, maintaining the canonical gender of all established characters. The Three Witches, traditionally female, are portrayed as such in this adaptation.
The 1971 film adaptation of Shakespeare's Macbeth features a cast predominantly of white actors, consistent with the historical setting of 11th-century Scotland and the traditional portrayal of the characters. No characters established as one race are depicted as a different race.
