Primary
The film's central conflict involves the universally condemned pursuit of former Nazi war criminals and their secret organization, with the solution driven by individual investigative action. This focus on a clear, external evil and individual justice positions the film as largely apolitical in terms of contemporary left-right ideological debates.
The 1974 film 'The Odessa File' features traditional casting with a predominantly white cast and no apparent intentional race or gender swaps. Its narrative, a historical thriller, does not present a critique of traditional identities in a DEI context, focusing instead on a specific historical conflict.
Secondary
