Analyzing...
Leans Traditional
Primary
The film is a biographical crime drama centered on the personal lives and criminal activities of the Kray twins, primarily serving as a character study and cautionary tale without explicitly promoting or critiquing specific political ideologies or advocating for societal solutions.
The film features traditional casting that aligns with the historical setting and real-life figures, without intentional race or gender swaps. Its narrative focuses on the lives of white, male protagonists without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or centering DEI themes.
Secondary
The film acknowledges Ronnie Kray's bisexuality as an integral part of his character, depicting his relationships with men without explicit judgment. His queer identity is neither affirmed nor denigrated, but rather presented factually within the context of his violent and unstable life, leading to a neutral overall portrayal.
The film 'Legend' features Leslie Holt, a transsexual woman, as a recurring character in the Kray twins' criminal world. Her identity is present but not central to the narrative.
