Primary
The film critiques the rigid class structure and pervasive hypocrisy of Restoration France, highlighting the struggles of a talented individual against a system that denies meritocracy, aligning its dominant themes with progressive values of social justice.
This adaptation of 'The Red and the Black' features traditional casting that aligns with its 19th-century French historical setting, without incorporating explicit race or gender swaps of established roles. The narrative remains faithful to the source material's focus on themes of class ambition and social hypocrisy, rather than engaging with modern DEI critiques of traditional identities.
Secondary
The film critically portrays the Catholic Church and its clergy as largely hypocritical, ambitious, and entangled in political power struggles, often using religion as a facade for personal gain and social control. While some individual characters exhibit genuine piety, the overall narrative exposes the institution's moral failings and corruption.
This adaptation of 'The Red and the Black' does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative centers exclusively on heterosexual relationships and societal ambition, resulting in no portrayal of queer identity.
The film "The Red and the Black" (1997), an adaptation of Stendhal's novel, does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Therefore, there is no portrayal to evaluate within the scope of this framework.
