Center
Primary

While the solution is individualistic, the framing of the problem itself drives the left-leaning interpretation.
The movie features a traditional main cast without explicit race or gender swaps of established roles. Its narrative frames traditional identities neutrally to positively, without explicit critique or central DEI themes.
Secondary
The film features several Native American characters, including the Apache chief Chato and warriors Fels and Rojas, who are portrayed by actors of different races (Black and white, respectively). This constitutes multiple instances of race swapping.
