Leans Progressive
Primary
The film's central conflict critiques a hidden, exploitative system that commodifies human life, advocating for liberation through collective action and strategic defiance against oppression.
The film, an adaptation of a Japanese manga, features a cast that aligns with the source material's implied ethnicity, without explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. The narrative centers on a survival story within a dystopian setting, and does not explicitly critique traditional identities or make DEI themes central to its plot.
Secondary
Several main characters, including Emma, Norman, Ray, and Isabella, who were visually depicted as light-skinned/white in the source manga and anime, are portrayed by East Asian actors in the live-action film. Additionally, Krone, depicted as Black in the source, is also portrayed by an East Asian actress.
The Promised Neverland movie does not include any explicit LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The story is solely centered on the survival and escape of the children from their predetermined fate, with no elements related to queer identity present in the narrative.
The Promised Neverland (movie) does not include any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The story centers on a group of orphans discovering the dark truth about their home and their subsequent escape, with no elements related to transgender identity present in the plot or character arcs.
The film focuses on children attempting to escape a dangerous orphanage. While female characters like Emma, Isabella, and Krone are central, their conflicts are primarily strategic, psychological, or involve evasion rather than direct physical combat victories against male opponents. No scenes depict a female character defeating one or more male opponents in close-quarters physical combat.
The live-action adaptation maintains the canonical genders of its main and supporting characters from the original manga. No established male or female characters are portrayed on screen as a different gender.
