Leans Progressive
Primary
The film's central narrative celebrates the abolition of slavery and the expansion of human rights through legislative reform, aligning with progressive values despite its portrayal of pragmatic political methods.
The movie features historically accurate casting with visible diversity among Black characters integral to the narrative, without explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. Its narrative positively frames its white male protagonist, Abraham Lincoln, as a hero fighting for the abolition of slavery, while critiquing the institution and its supporters.
Secondary
The miniseries portrays Christianity as a foundational element of American society during the Civil War, often highlighting its role in shaping moral arguments against slavery and providing solace. While some characters might misuse religious doctrine, the narrative generally aligns with the virtues of faith that inspire justice and compassion, particularly through Lincoln's own moral framework.
The film 'Lincoln' does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative is solely centered on historical events surrounding the abolition of slavery and the American Civil War, without any depiction or discussion of queer identity.
The 2005 TV mini-series 'Lincoln' is a historical drama centered on Abraham Lincoln's life and presidency. The narrative does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or explore related themes. Consequently, the film has no discernible impact, positive or negative, on the portrayal of transsexual individuals.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The 1974 show "Lincoln" is a historical drama depicting real-life figures. All major historical characters, including Abraham Lincoln and Mary Todd Lincoln, are portrayed on screen with the same gender as their documented historical identity, with no instances of gender swapping.
