The film addresses racial discrimination against Chinese immigrants, a left-leaning theme, but champions an individualistic, martial arts-based solution focused on personal honor and destiny rather than systemic change, resulting in a neutral ideological stance.
The movie features a predominantly Chinese cast, reflecting its cultural origin and setting, without engaging in explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. Its narrative centers on a male protagonist whose journey is framed heroically, and while some non-Chinese characters are antagonists, this is primarily contextual to historical struggles rather than an explicit critique of traditional identities.
