As a primitive technical demonstration from 1898, *Les chats boxeurs* lacks the narrative complexity needed for meaningful diversity representation. The film captures animal subjects engaged in combat, focusing on their movements rather than exploring human social dynamics. Because there are no human characters, the film does not address issues related to gender, race, or identity. Instead, it serves as a historical document of early cinema's fascination with spectacle. The lack of human characters means the film cannot engage with the overlapping aspects of identity or provide progressive storytelling.
