Center
Primary
The film's dominant themes align with progressive values by critiquing class disparity, the corrupting influence of wealth, and the disillusionment with the American Dream, which are central to its tragic narrative.
The movie features primarily traditional casting without explicit race or gender swaps of established roles. Its narrative focuses on critiquing the moral failings and class structures of the 1920s wealthy elite, rather than explicitly deconstructing or negatively portraying traditional identities from a modern diversity, equity, and inclusion perspective.
Secondary
Meyer Wolfsheim, a character canonically established as Jewish (and broadly considered white within the novel's context), is portrayed by Amitabh Bachchan, an actor of South Asian descent, constituting a race swap.
The film portrays the moral bankruptcy and spiritual emptiness of the wealthy elite, many of whom come from a nominal Christian background. Their actions are depicted as selfish and destructive, without any counterbalancing positive portrayal of the faith or its adherents.
While the film condemns Tom Buchanan's explicit anti-Semitism, the character of Meyer Wolfsheim, a Jewish man, is depicted in a manner that reinforces negative stereotypes of Jewish people as criminal and manipulative, without any counterbalancing positive or nuanced portrayal.
Baz Luhrmann's "The Great Gatsby" does not include any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses entirely on heterosexual relationships and societal observations of the Jazz Age, resulting in no portrayal of queer identity within the film.
The Great Gatsby (2013) does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The film's narrative focuses on themes of wealth, class, and love in the 1920s, without engaging with transgender identity or experiences, resulting in no depiction to evaluate.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The 2013 film adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel, "The Great Gatsby," maintains the established genders of all its principal characters as depicted in the original source material. No canonical characters were portrayed as a different gender.
