Leans Traditional
Primary

It focuses on individual accountability and the moral imperative to expose hidden threats rather than promoting a specific partisan ideology.
The film features traditional casting typical of its period, with no explicit diversity initiatives in character representation. Its narrative centers on a pursuit of justice against a war criminal, without engaging in critical portrayals of traditional identities or incorporating explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
The film implicitly upholds the moral framework of the small American town, rooted in Christian values, as a positive ideal against the Nazi evil. The protagonists' pursuit of justice aligns with these values.
The film's narrative unequivocally condemns the Nazi ideology and its persecution of Jewish people, positioning the audience to sympathize with the victims and the need for justice against perpetrators like Kindler.
