Leans Progressive
Primary
The film's central conflict champions individual free will against a powerful, authoritarian organization seeking to impose global control, aligning with anti-authoritarian and individual liberty themes.
The movie features a visibly diverse supporting cast, particularly within the modern-day Assassin faction, but its central protagonists are cast in a traditional manner without explicit race or gender swaps. The narrative focuses on a fictional conflict between ancient orders, without explicitly critiquing or negatively framing traditional identities.
Secondary
The film features female Assassins, Maria and Lin, who engage in and win close-quarters physical combat against multiple male opponents using martial arts and melee weapons in both historical and modern settings.
The film prominently features the Spanish Inquisition, portraying its leaders and methods (torture, burning at the stake) as cruel and oppressive. The narrative depicts the Templars manipulating the Christian Church as a tool for control and subjugation, aligning the institution with the film's antagonists.
