Primary
The film's central subject matter, the lives and experiences of homosexual individuals, inherently aligns with progressive values of social justice and anti-discrimination, making it left-leaning by exploring themes of identity, acceptance, and the challenges faced by the LGBTQ+ community.
The movie explicitly centers its narrative and casting on homosexual characters, demonstrating a clear and intentional focus on a minority sexual identity. This approach inherently critiques traditional societal norms and places DEI themes at the core of its storytelling.
Secondary
This 1979 Greek film, titled 'The Homosexuals,' likely presents a problematic portrayal of LGBTQ+ characters. It probably focuses on the societal prejudice and personal suffering associated with queer identity, emphasizing negative outcomes without offering significant affirmation or dignity.
The film, set in a predominantly Orthodox Christian society, portrays Christianity, particularly its institutional expressions, as a source of societal condemnation and prejudice against its homosexual protagonists. The narrative implicitly critiques these religiously-motivated attitudes, highlighting their oppressive impact without offering significant counterbalancing positive portrayals of the faith.
