Leans Traditional
Primary
The film's central conflict, the prevention of a Nazi resurgence, is a universally condemned threat that transcends typical left-right political divides.

The movie features a traditional, predominantly white cast, consistent with its 1970s production and historical setting. Its narrative focuses on a thriller plot involving a Nazi hunter and a cloning conspiracy, without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or centering DEI themes.
Secondary

The narrative unequivocally condemns the anti-Semitism of the Nazis, positioning the audience to sympathize with the victims and the fight against such hatred.
