Primary
The film's central conflict critiques a secretive government organization's exploitation of individuals, aligning with left-leaning skepticism of unchecked state power and institutional abuse. However, its focus on individual revenge rather than systemic reform limits its explicit ideological promotion.
The movie features a predominantly white cast without intentional race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. Its narrative centers on a supernatural thriller plot, and it does not critique traditional identities or explicitly incorporate DEI themes.
Secondary

Brian De Palma's 'The Fury' is a supernatural thriller about psychics and government intrigue. The film does not include any identifiable transsexual characters or themes, therefore offering no portrayal to evaluate within the scope of this rubric.
