Center
Primary
The film's central themes of marital breakdown and the conflict between artistic integrity and commercialism are fundamentally apolitical in their treatment, offering no explicit political solutions or ideological endorsements, leading to a neutral rating.
The movie features a traditional, predominantly white European and American cast without explicit race or gender swaps. Its narrative subtly explores male gaze and power dynamics within a relationship and the film industry, but does not explicitly critique traditional identities as central to its themes.
Secondary
Jean-Luc Godard's 'Contempt' does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The film's narrative centers on the deteriorating marriage of a heterosexual couple and the challenges of filmmaking, without exploring queer identities or experiences.
The film 'Contempt' (1963) does not include any transsexual characters or themes within its narrative. Consequently, there is no portrayal to evaluate regarding transsexual identity, resulting in a 'N/A' rating for its net impact.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film "Contempt" is an adaptation of Alberto Moravia's novel "Il disprezzo." All major characters in the film retain the same gender as their counterparts in the original novel, and historical figures are portrayed with their documented gender.
The film adapts a novel where characters' nationalities shifted (e.g., Italian to French), but their broader racial category (white) remained consistent. This does not meet the definition of a race swap.
