Leans Traditional
Primary
The film critiques social hierarchy and the exploitation of the marginalized, but champions an individualistic solution where the protagonist achieves power and respect through personal ambition, cunning, and force within a corrupt system, rather than through collective action or systemic reform.
The movie features a cast that is diverse within its specific regional and cultural context, naturally reflecting its setting without explicit DEI-driven casting or race/gender swaps of traditionally white roles. Its narrative focuses on a protagonist from a marginalized background rising through a corrupt system, but it does not critically portray traditional identities such as male or white; instead, it often glorifies male ambition and strength.
Secondary
