Leans Progressive
Primary
The film's central thesis explicitly promotes a critique of materialism and the corrupting power of money, portraying how the pursuit of wealth leads to moral decay, the destruction of relationships, and tragic violence, aligning with anti-capitalist progressive ideologies.
The 1924 film 'Greed' features a cast predominantly composed of white actors, reflecting the common casting practices of its time. The narrative explores themes of human greed and moral decay without engaging in critiques of traditional identities or incorporating explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
The film portrays its nominally Christian characters, McTeague and Trina, as succumbing entirely to avarice, leading to hypocrisy, cruelty, and murder. Their faith offers no moral guidance or redemption, and the narrative provides no counterbalancing positive portrayal, depicting adherents as fundamentally flawed and morally bankrupt despite their religious background.
Erich von Stroheim's 'Greed' (1924) is a naturalistic drama primarily focused on the destructive impact of avarice on a heterosexual couple. The narrative does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes, nor does it explore queer identity or relationships in any capacity.
Erich von Stroheim's 1924 film 'Greed' does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative centers on the destructive impact of avarice on a married couple, with no elements related to transgender identity present in the story.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The 1924 film "Greed" is a direct adaptation of Frank Norris's 1899 novel "McTeague." The film accurately portrays the genders of all main characters as established in the original source material, with no changes to their canonical gender identities.
