Leans Traditional
Primary
The film's central subject matter, Shirley MacLaine's personal spiritual journey and exploration of metaphysical 'illusions,' is inherently apolitical, focusing on individual consciousness and existential questions rather than promoting or critiquing specific political ideologies or societal structures.
This one-woman show features Shirley MacLaine exploring her personal spiritual journey and metaphysical beliefs. The casting is entirely traditional, as it stars a single white actress, and the narrative does not engage with or critique traditional identities, nor does it incorporate any explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
The film 'Shirley MacLaine... Illusions' explores Shirley MacLaine's spiritual awakening and personal life, based on her book 'Out on a Limb.' The narrative does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes, leading to a net impact of N/A.
This film is a performance special featuring Shirley MacLaine, showcasing her singing, dancing, and monologues. There are no identifiable transsexual characters or themes present in the narrative or performances, leading to a determination of N/A for trans portrayal.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
This film is an autobiographical drama based on Shirley MacLaine's book. It portrays real historical figures, including MacLaine herself, with their documented genders maintained. There are no instances of characters established as one gender being portrayed as another.
This 1982 TV special primarily features Shirley MacLaine performing as herself, exploring personal themes and musical numbers. It does not adapt pre-existing fictional characters or historical figures in a way that would involve a race swap.
Similar to Buddhism, the film affirms concepts such as reincarnation, karma, and the pursuit of spiritual understanding, which are foundational to Hindu thought, as part of a valid path to truth.
