A Farewell to Arms

The film adheres to a strictly heterosexual storyline, focusing solely on the romantic relationship between the male and female leads without any hints of LGBTQ themes.

Catherine Barkley is portrayed primarily through her caregiving role and emotional connection to the male lead. The film upholds traditional gender roles and lacks substantial narrative ability to act for female characters.

The casting is predominantly white and European, with no characters of color holding prominent or influential roles during the wartime period.

The story critiques the futility of war through a lens of romantic tragedy and fatalism, avoiding religious dogma in favor of a secular, nihilistic perspective.

Physical and mental health issues are presented merely as consequences of war, with characters with disabilities serving mainly as plot devices rather than individuals with their own choices.
