Leans Traditional
Primary
The film focuses on the universally apolitical theme of finding love and companionship in modern society, consciously avoiding explicit political commentary by centering on individual romantic journeys and personal growth rather than societal critiques or ideological promotion.
The movie features a traditional cast for its Chinese cultural context, without any explicit DEI-driven casting choices. Its narrative frames traditional identities neutrally or positively, focusing on a heterosexual male protagonist's romantic journey without incorporating explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
The film features a gay character, Jian Guo, who seeks a fake marriage due to parental pressure. His depiction is largely neutral; he is presented as a successful individual, and while his situation provides some comedic moments, his sexual orientation itself is not a source of mockery or degradation. The portrayal neither strongly affirms nor denigrates LGBTQ+ identity.
The film features Jian Guo, a character who transitioned from male to female but expresses deep regret and a desire to revert. Her portrayal is largely comedic, focusing on her past decision as a source of awkwardness and humor for the protagonist. This depiction, centered on regret and played for laughs, contributes to a problematic view of transsexual identity.
A Buddhist monk character's personal struggles to reconcile spiritual vows with worldly desires are presented with gentle humor and a degree of sympathy, without satirizing the faith itself.
