Leans Progressive
Primary
The film explores universal ethical and existential themes such as scientific hubris, the fear of death, and the consequences of unaddressed personal guilt, advocating for individual atonement rather than engaging with political ideologies.
The movie demonstrates significant DEI through its casting, featuring a diverse main ensemble that includes minority actors in prominent roles, which contrasts with the original film's all-white cast. However, the narrative itself does not explicitly critique traditional identities or center on DEI themes, focusing instead on individual character arcs and supernatural consequences.
Secondary
The film 'Flatliners' does not include any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes within its plot or character development. The narrative focuses on heterosexual relationships and individual experiences with near-death, without addressing queer identity.
The film 'Flatliners' (2017) does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes within its narrative. The plot focuses on medical students experimenting with near-death experiences and their subsequent supernatural encounters, without incorporating any transgender-related elements.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The 2017 film introduces a new ensemble of medical students, who are original characters for this installment, not gender-swapped versions of the 1990 film's protagonists. Kiefer Sutherland reprises his role as Nelson Wright, maintaining his original gender.
The 2017 film introduces a new ensemble cast, with no characters from the original 1990 film being recast with actors of a different race. The returning character, Nelson, is played by the original actor, maintaining his race.
