Center
Primary
The film's dominant themes align with progressive values by offering a profound critique of the oppressive conformity, restrictive gender roles, and the false promise of the 'American Dream' prevalent in 1950s suburban society.
The film features traditional casting with a predominantly white ensemble, consistent with its 1950s suburban setting. Its narrative explores the disillusionment and societal pressures experienced by its white, heterosexual protagonists within the confines of the American Dream, offering a critique of the era's norms rather than an explicit focus on modern diversity, equity, and inclusion themes.
Secondary
Revolutionary Road focuses exclusively on the marital and existential struggles of a heterosexual couple in 1950s suburbia. The film does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes, resulting in an N/A rating for its portrayal.
Revolutionary Road does not include any identifiable transsexual characters or explore transgender themes within its narrative. The film's focus is on the domestic and existential crises of a cisgender, heterosexual couple in the 1950s, resulting in no portrayal of transsexual individuals or experiences.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
