Primary
The film's central satire targets puritanical morality, sexual repression, and the exploitation of health anxieties, with characters ultimately finding personal liberation from these restrictive norms. This thematic focus on challenging traditional social values aligns with a left-leaning perspective.
The movie features a predominantly traditional cast without explicit DEI-driven recasting. Its narrative focuses on satirical commentary about historical health practices and human eccentricities, rather than offering a critical portrayal of traditional identities or centering explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
The film satirizes the extreme, dogmatic, and hypocritical application of Christian beliefs by its central figure, Dr. Kellogg. His religiously-motivated health regimen is portrayed as absurd, controlling, and often harmful to his patients.
