Center
Primary
The film's central subject matter revolves around a young woman's personal struggle with a rare medical condition and her journey to find love, focusing on individual experience and emotional connection rather than political or ideological issues.
The film features a traditional casting approach with a predominantly white main and supporting cast. Its narrative is a straightforward romantic drama that does not engage in critiques of traditional identities or explicitly center diversity, equity, and inclusion themes.
Secondary
The 2018 film "Midnight Sun" is a remake of the 2006 Japanese film "Taiyō no Uta." The main protagonist, Kaoru Amane, originally Japanese, is portrayed as Katie Price by a white actress. The main love interest, Koji Fujishiro, also originally Japanese, is portrayed as Charlie Reed by a white actor. This constitutes a race swap for key characters.
The film "Midnight Sun" does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its plot centers entirely on a heterosexual romance and the challenges faced by the protagonist due to a rare medical condition, resulting in no LGBTQ+ portrayal to evaluate.
The film "Midnight Sun" does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Its narrative focuses on a young woman's rare medical condition and her romantic relationship, with no elements related to transgender identity present in the story.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The 2018 film is a remake of the 2006 Japanese film "Taiyō no Uta." A comparison of the main and supporting characters between the original and the remake shows no instances where a character's established gender was changed in the adaptation.
