Primary

The film critically portrays powerful Hollywood studios and wealthy elites manipulating media to undermine a progressive political candidate, championing artistic integrity as a form of resistance against such forces.

The movie features traditional casting that aligns with the historical period and real-life figures portrayed, without intentional race or gender swaps. Its narrative focuses on the critique of the Hollywood system and individual power dynamics rather than explicitly framing traditional identities negatively or centering on DEI themes.

Secondary
