Progressive
Primary
The film's central thesis explicitly critiques systemic colonial oppression and the exploitation of labor, advocating for collective liberation and human dignity for the oppressed. This aligns with progressive ideology.
This historical drama features a cast reflecting its East Asian setting during World War II, without intentional race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. The narrative strongly critiques colonial oppression, portraying the male agents of the oppressive regime as antagonists and centering on the struggle of a marginalized group against exploitation.
Secondary
The film "The Battleship Island" focuses on the historical events of forced labor during World War II on Hashima Island. There are no identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes present within the narrative, resulting in no specific portrayal to evaluate.
