Leans Progressive
Primary
The film's central narrative revolves around universal themes of grief, emotional healing, and the restorative power of nature and family, which do not align predominantly with either progressive or conservative political ideologies.
This adaptation of 'The Secret Garden' demonstrates significant diversity through the explicit racial recasting of several traditionally white supporting roles. However, the narrative itself does not explicitly critique traditional identities or center on DEI themes, maintaining a focus on the original story's core emotional and magical elements.
Secondary
The 2020 film adaptation of "The Secret Garden" features Dickon and Martha Sowerby, characters canonically established as white in the original novel and prior adaptations, portrayed by Black actors. This constitutes a race swap.
The 2020 adaptation of 'The Secret Garden' does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The story centers on a young girl's discovery of a hidden garden and its impact on her and her family's emotional healing, without incorporating queer narratives.
The film "The Secret Garden" (2020) does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative focuses on a young girl's discovery of a hidden garden and its impact on her family, with no elements related to transgender identity.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The 2020 film adaptation of "The Secret Garden" maintains the established genders of its core characters, such as Mary Lennox, Colin Craven, and Dickon Sowerby, as depicted in the original novel.
