Leans Progressive
Primary
The film's central conflict revolves around a global catastrophe causing sleep deprivation and societal collapse, which is an apolitical premise. The narrative champions an individualistic solution centered on a unique child and a mother's protective instincts, rather than promoting any specific political ideology or systemic change.
The movie features a Latina actress in the central protagonist role, representing a notable departure from typical casting for such a character in a mainstream thriller. The narrative, however, maintains a neutral stance on traditional identities, focusing instead on survival and family dynamics without explicit social commentary.
Secondary
The film portrays its primary antagonist, Lilith, as a devout Christian whose outward piety serves as a deceptive facade for her manipulative and murderous intentions. Her faith is used to highlight her profound hypocrisy and the chilling nature of her villainy, with no significant counterbalancing positive portrayal of the religion.
The film 'Awake' does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes within its narrative. The story focuses on a man experiencing anesthetic awareness during surgery and the subsequent revelations of betrayal, without incorporating any queer identities or storylines.
The film 'Awake' does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Its plot centers on a man's experience during surgery and a conspiracy, without engaging with transgender identity in any capacity.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Awake (2007) is an original film with characters created specifically for its screenplay. There is no prior source material, historical record, or previous installment from which character genders could have been established and subsequently swapped.
