The Big Parade

The film follows a traditional framework that assumes everyone is straight or cisgender. There are no representations of non-cisgender gender identities or same-sex relationships.

The story focuses almost exclusively on the male experience of duty, reinforcing traditional hierarchies. Women are portrayed as domestic symbols rather than active drivers of the plot.

The film offers an authentic portrayal of Chinese peasants and disrupts Western-centric norms by centering a localized, post-colonial perspective.

The narrative uses an anti-imperialist framework to critique external dominance, emphasizing the collective struggle of the working class against invading forces.

There are no prominent depictions of visible or invisible disabilities that significantly impact the narrative.
