Primary
The film's dominant themes align with progressive values by critiquing corporate greed and materialism, championing community and individual freedom over profit, and advocating for a humanistic approach to life.
This classic 1938 film features a predominantly white cast, consistent with the era's Hollywood productions, and does not incorporate modern diversity in its character representation. The narrative explores themes of class and individualism, presenting traditional identities neutrally or positively without engaging in critiques related to race, gender, or other DEI themes.
Secondary
The film champions values of love, community, generosity, and simple living over materialism, aligning with core Christian ethics. The narrative affirms these virtues as the path to true happiness and fulfillment, contrasting them with the empty pursuit of wealth.
Frank Capra's 1938 film 'You Can't Take It with You' does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The story focuses on a heterosexual romance and the clash between two families' lifestyles, without addressing queer identities or experiences.
The film "You Can't Take It with You" (1938) does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Its narrative focuses on themes of individualism, community, and the pursuit of happiness, without engaging with transgender identity in any capacity.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The 1938 film "You Can't Take It with You" is an adaptation of the 1936 play. All significant characters from the original play maintain their established gender in the film adaptation, with no instances of a character being portrayed as a different gender than their source material.
The film adapts the 1936 play where characters' races were either implied as white or explicitly stated (e.g., Rheba and Donald as "colored"). The film's casting aligns with these established racial portrayals, with no character depicted as a different race than in the source material.
