Leans Progressive
Primary
The film's central thesis explicitly promotes progressive ideology by romanticizing the youth rebellion, sexual liberation, and anti-establishment spirit of the May '68 protests, which serve as the core ideological context for the characters' awakening and ultimate embrace of collective action.
The film features a predominantly white main cast, consistent with its setting in Paris during the 1968 student protests, without explicit DEI-driven casting choices. The narrative explores themes of personal liberation, political idealism, and disillusionment, but does not explicitly critique traditional identities or center on DEI themes.
Secondary
The Dreamers portrays sexual fluidity and same-sex intimacy as central to its characters' exploration of identity and rebellion. The film depicts these themes without judgment, framing them as acts of liberation and self-discovery within a politically charged, isolated environment.
The film "The Dreamers" does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Its narrative primarily explores themes of cinema, sexuality, and political awakening among its main characters in 1968 Paris, without engaging with transgender identities or experiences.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The Dreamers is an adaptation of the novel "The Holy Innocents." The main characters, Matthew, Isabelle, and Théo, retain the same genders as established in the source material, with no instances of gender alteration.
