Progressive
Primary
The film's dominant themes align with progressive values by critiquing oppressive authoritarian systems and celebrating the empowerment of marginalized individuals through intellect and collective action, ultimately advocating for a chosen, supportive family structure.
The movie demonstrates significant DEI primarily through its casting choices, notably the explicit race-swapping of a traditionally white character. However, its narrative does not explicitly critique traditional identities, focusing instead on themes of individual injustice and empowerment.
Secondary
The character Sergei, a Russian mafia boss who is male in the source musical, is portrayed as female in the 2022 film adaptation. This constitutes a gender swap.
Miss Honey, a character established as white in the original book and previous film adaptation, is portrayed by a Black actress. Additionally, Lavender, also depicted as white in source material, is played by an East Asian actress.
Matilda: The Musical does not include any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on Matilda's journey, her relationship with Miss Honey, and her conflict with Miss Trunchbull, without incorporating queer representation.
The film "Roald Dahl's Matilda the Musical" does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Consequently, there is no direct portrayal of transsexual identity to evaluate within the narrative, leading to an N/A assessment.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
