Primary
While the film features a backdrop of Roman oppression and class struggle, its primary focus is on individual heroism, personal revenge, and survival against a specific corrupt antagonist and a natural disaster, rather than a systemic critique or promotion of any particular political ideology, resulting in a neutral stance.
The movie features visible diversity in its supporting cast, including prominent roles for Black actors, which adds a layer of representation without explicitly altering traditionally white roles. The narrative, however, maintains a traditional framing, focusing on a classic revenge and romance plot without explicitly critiquing or centering DEI themes.
