As a foundational piece from 1891, Duncan Smoking operates within the limited technological and storytelling capabilities of its time. The film does not engage with the complexities of diverse representation or the subversion of societal power structures. The lack of diverse representation is a result of historical limitations rather than a deliberate choice to exclude certain groups.
