“Indecent Proposal” focuses on personal relationships and moral dilemmas, rather than identity politics or modern ideological narratives. Characters are defined by their choices and flaws, not by their race, gender, or sexuality. The plot revolves around classic themes of love, temptation, and money, keeping the narrative mostly free of the now-standard ‘woke’ tropes.

The film actually reinforces certain traditional ideas about marriage, loyalty, and the fallout from violating those values. While it explores the consequences of testing marital fidelity, it doesn’t treat traditional family structures or masculinity as backwards or toxic. There’s a morality play at its center, even if some choices are questionable.

There's little push for ideological conformity. The characters wrestle with tough choices from a personal rather than overtly political perspective. Different viewpoints (e.g., regarding money, love, and commitment) are presented, and none are cartoonishly villainized or elevated as flawless.
