Skyscraper

Representation / casting choices

Casting fits the Hong Kong setting with Chinese actors in local roles and a Chinese building owner. Johnson's amputee role follows the character's established backstory and shows no audience-visible identity signaling or quota style.

Political / ideological dialogue

The film contains zero political speeches, activist lines, or ideological debates.

Identity-driven story themes

The narrative stays on family rescue, heroism, and overcoming injury with no race, gender, sexuality, or social justice elements.

Institutional / cultural critique

Villains are generic criminals driven by extortion and arson. No framing of capitalism, patriarchy, traditional norms, or Western institutions as flawed systems.
