Leans Progressive

Primary

The film primarily focuses on apolitical themes of personal relationships, individual self-discovery, and friendship among women, without explicitly promoting or critiquing specific political ideologies or societal structures.

The movie incorporates visible racial diversity by casting minority actresses in prominent roles that were traditionally white in the source material. However, its narrative primarily centers on personal relationships and female solidarity, without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or making broader DEI themes central to its story.

Secondary

The 2008 film is an adaptation of the 1939 movie and 1936 play, both famously featuring an all-white cast. In the 2008 version, characters like Alex Fisher and Babe, originally portrayed by white actresses, are played by Black actresses Jada Pinkett Smith and Lynn Whitfield, respectively.
