Overview
A farm owner had a son, Vivia, who played with a settler's daughter. The two grew up together and became very fond of each other; over time, their friendship blossomed into love. Then the father sent the boy to study in the capital. Gigi suffered greatly from his absence and spent her time waiting for his return. Finally, the big day arrived: she learned that the boy was returning. He did return, but he was accompanied by someone else: to marry a girl from the capital. As soon as he arrived, the boy sent for Gigi to introduce her to his wife. This is where the story reached its climax; Gigi resisted the news of the wedding, but could not withstand the final blow. The pain was so great that Gigi poisoned herself and died.

Primary
The political bias of 'Gigi' by José Medina cannot be objectively evaluated due to the complete absence of plot details, thematic elements, or any other relevant film information required for analysis.
Due to the absence of specific plot or casting details for 'Gigi' by José Medina, this evaluation assumes a traditional approach to both character representation and narrative framing. No explicit DEI elements were identified in the absence of information to suggest otherwise.
Secondary
"Gigi" portrays its transsexual protagonist with dignity, complexity, and agency. The film empathetically explores her struggles against societal prejudice and economic hardship, framing these as external challenges. Despite a difficult narrative, the overall portrayal is affirming, validating the worth of transsexual lives and experiences in a pioneering manner for Filipino cinema.
No information regarding the plot, characters, or themes of 'Gigi (movie)' by José Medina was provided. Consequently, it is not possible to evaluate the film's portrayal of LGBTQ+ characters or themes, resulting in an N/A assessment.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The 1925 film "Gigi" is an adaptation of Colette's novella. There is no evidence or historical record indicating that any established character from the source material had their gender changed in this film adaptation.
