Leans Progressive
Primary
Empire is an experimental, observational film that presents a static, eight-hour shot of the Empire State Building without explicit political commentary or ideological agenda, resulting in a neutral rating.
This film, a static observation of the Empire State Building, contains no human characters or narrative. As such, it neither presents nor critiques traditional identities, nor does it feature any explicit DEI-driven casting or character diversity.
Secondary
The TV show "Empire" prominently features Jamal Lyon, a gay main character whose journey of self-acceptance, coming out, and navigating homophobia is central. Despite initial family disapproval and industry prejudice, the narrative consistently affirms his identity, portraying him with dignity and complexity, ultimately leading to a largely positive and validating depiction of LGBTQ+ experiences.
Andy Warhol's experimental film 'Empire' consists solely of an eight-hour static shot of the Empire State Building. As such, it contains no characters, plot, or thematic elements, and therefore no depiction or exploration of transsexual individuals or themes.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The 1962 television series "Empire" is an original Western drama. Its characters were created for this specific show, meaning there is no prior source material, historical record, or previous installment from which a character's gender could have been swapped.
The 1962 TV series "Empire" was an original production, not an adaptation of existing source material with pre-established character races, nor a biopic or reboot. Therefore, no characters were portrayed as a different race than originally established in prior canon or history.
