Primary

The film's central theme of individual compassion and overcoming prejudice to help a stranger is a universal moral principle, not explicitly aligned with a specific political ideology. It champions individual ethical action rather than systemic change or partisan political solutions, leading to a neutral rating.

The movie adapts a classic parable, visually presenting characters in a mainstream animated style without explicit modern diversity. However, its core narrative strongly champions compassion for the marginalized by critiquing established societal figures and elevating an outsider as the moral hero.

Secondary

The film directly illustrates the biblical parable of the Good Samaritan, a core teaching of Jesus, affirming the Christian virtues of compassion, charity, and universal love for one's neighbor.

The film 'The Good Samaritan' does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on a man mugged and left for dead, with the plot revolving around who stops to help, without any queer representation.
