Center

Primary

The film explores the universal themes of human passion, societal constraints, and tragic love, focusing on the irreconcilable conflict between individual desires and social obligations without explicitly promoting a specific political ideology.

This Japanese film features a cast that is culturally appropriate for its setting, without engaging in explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally Western roles. Its narrative does not explicitly critique traditional Western identities or center on DEI themes as defined by the evaluation criteria.

Secondary

The film, a tragedy exploring human desire and its violent consequences, implicitly affirms Buddhist principles regarding the nature of suffering (dukkha) and the karmic repercussions of immoral actions. The narrative demonstrates the destructive power of attachment and greed, aligning with a worldview where such actions lead to inevitable suffering, thus validating the underlying moral framework.

The film "The Oil-Hell Murder" does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on a dissolute son's financial troubles, his heterosexual relationship, and his eventual crime, without incorporating any queer elements.

This 1957 film is an adaptation of Chikamatsu Monzaemon's 1721 kabuki play. Key characters, such as the protagonist Yohei and victim Okichi, maintain their original genders from the source material. No established characters underwent a gender change.
