Center
Primary
While the film touches on gender dynamics and workplace sexism, its central thesis and solution revolve around individual empathy, communication, and personal growth, making its themes largely apolitical in their execution rather than promoting a specific political ideology or advocating for systemic change.
The movie primarily features traditional casting with a predominantly white main cast, showing no explicit DEI-driven race or gender swaps. While the narrative explores a male protagonist overcoming chauvinistic tendencies, this is presented as a personal growth story rather than a strong, explicit critique of traditional identities or a central DEI theme.
Secondary
The film 'What Women Want' does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative is centered entirely on heterosexual relationships and gender roles, leading to a 'N/A' rating for LGBTQ+ portrayal.
What Women Want does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative centers on a cisgender male protagonist gaining the ability to hear cisgender women's thoughts, exploring traditional gender dynamics and romantic relationships without touching upon transgender identities or experiences.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
This film is an original romantic comedy from 2000, not an adaptation, reboot, or biopic. All characters were created specifically for this movie, meaning there is no prior source material or established canon from which a character's gender could be swapped.
