Traditional
Primary
The film explicitly critiques anti-capitalist movements and political radicalization, portraying them as destructive and misguided, while implicitly defending the existing capitalist system and emphasizing the importance of social order.
The film primarily focuses on class conflict and political ideology rather than explicit racial or gender diversity in casting. While it addresses social inequality, the narrative is noted for portraying the wealthy with some sympathy and depicting leftist groups as morally flawed, which critics argue undermines a balanced social justice critique.
Secondary
The film portrays LGBTQ+ identity through Max, a complex and central character embodying freedom and nonconformity. It explores themes of identity and social alienation within a nuanced narrative, avoiding stereotypes and clichés, and integrating queer dimensions into broader political and social commentary.
