Here Come the Waves

The film strictly follows heterosexual and cisgender romantic structures. There is no representation of LGBTQ+ identities or same-sex relationships.

Female characters show ability to act through their careers but are defined by a 'serious vs. scatterbrain' dichotomy. The plot reinforces traditional gender roles.

Casting is predominantly white, reflecting the era's exclusion of non-white actors. The setting maintains a narrow, Western-centric perspective.

The narrative celebrates mid-century American institutions and traditional courtship. It reinforces the cultural status quo through escapist entertainment.

No visible or invisible disabilities are portrayed. Characters are depicted through a lens of physical and mental perfection.
