Progressive

Primary

The film's central narrative explicitly champions the breaking of traditional gender norms and the assertion of individual identity against societal expectations, which is a core tenet of progressive ideology. Its solution to societal constraints is individual defiance and self-determination.

The movie 'Calamity' features traditional casting without explicit race or gender swaps of historically white roles. Its narrative, however, centrally explores and critiques traditional gender norms through its protagonist's journey, highlighting themes of female independence and challenging societal expectations.

Secondary

Calamity portrays a young Martha Jane Cannary challenging rigid gender norms by adopting male attire and skills. The film positively depicts her journey of self-discovery and assertion of identity, framing societal prejudice as an external obstacle. It affirms her dignity, complexity, and agency, celebrating her gender non-conformity as a source of strength and authenticity.

Calamity explores themes of gender non-conformity through its protagonist, Martha Jane Cannary, who adopts masculine attire and behaviors to defy societal expectations. However, the narrative does not depict or explicitly address transsexual characters or themes, focusing instead on challenging gender roles within a historical context.

The film depicts the historical figure Martha Jane Cannary (Calamity Jane) as female, consistent with her documented gender. No other major characters are identified as having undergone a gender swap from established source material or history.

The film 'Calamity' is an animated depiction of the historical figure Martha Jane Cannary (Calamity Jane). The character is portrayed as white, consistent with her historical race, thus not constituting a race swap.
