Center
Primary
The film critiques the destructive forces of rising authoritarianism and war, a theme broadly accepted across the political spectrum. However, its narrative solution is apolitical, focusing on individual acts of loyalty, friendship, and the preservation of memory and culture, rather than promoting a specific modern political ideology.
The movie features a visibly diverse cast, including a central immigrant character whose journey is portrayed sympathetically. While it subtly critiques the decline of an old European order and the rise of authoritarianism, it does not explicitly frame traditional identities negatively or center its narrative around a strong DEI critique.
Secondary
The film portrays the persecution of Zero Moustafa and his family, who are refugees from a war-torn region, strongly implying a Jewish background given the historical context of WWII-era Europe. The narrative unequivocally condemns the bigotry and violence against these victims, positioning the audience to sympathize deeply with their suffering and the injustice they face.
The Grand Budapest Hotel does not depict any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The central relationships and character developments are entirely heterosexual, leading to a 'N/A' rating for LGBTQ+ portrayal.
The Grand Budapest Hotel does not include any transsexual characters or themes. The narrative centers on a concierge and his lobby boy, their adventures, and the changing world around them, without touching upon gender identity issues.
