Category Breakdown

The female lead has a significant role through her mystery and secrets, but her character often serves to advance the male protagonist’s journey, reinforcing traditional gender power dynamics.
The film includes an Italian woman, suggesting some ethnic diversity, but these depictions typically serve as decorative elements rather than challenging the Western-centric narrative.
