Leans Progressive
Primary
The film's extensive portrayal of rural poverty and political instability in the Philippines serves as a profound critique of systemic failures and the enduring suffering of marginalized communities, aligning its dominant themes with progressive values.
The movie features a cast and narrative authentic to its Filipino setting, focusing on a family's struggles during the Marcos era. While this inherently provides a diverse perspective from a global standpoint, it does not involve explicit recasting of traditionally white roles. The narrative offers an indirect critique of traditional power structures within its specific cultural and historical context, rather than an explicit, central DEI critique.
Secondary
Set in the predominantly Catholic Philippines during a period of intense political and social upheaval, the film portrays Christianity as an integral part of the characters' lives. While not explicitly a solution to their suffering, the faith and its practices are depicted with respect and sympathy as a source of resilience, cultural identity, and a means of coping with profound hardship for the struggling family. The narrative focuses on the humanistic struggle for survival and dignity, with faith being an enduring, albeit often challenged, aspect of that journey.
