Center
Primary
The film maintains a neutral stance by focusing on the human drama and the collaborative investigative efforts to find Daniel Pearl, rather than promoting a specific political ideology or offering partisan solutions to terrorism.

The narrative focuses on the factual events of a kidnapping and the subsequent search, without explicitly critiquing or negatively framing traditional identities.
Secondary
Mariane Pearl, a real historical figure of Afro-Cuban and Dutch-Jewish descent, is portrayed by Angelina Jolie, a white actress. This casting represents a change in the character's established racial background.

The film unequivocally condemns the anti-Semitism that leads to Daniel Pearl's kidnapping and murder, portraying the bigotry against his Jewish identity as a tragic and hateful act.
