Leans Progressive
Primary
The film critiques rigid 19th-century class structures, inherited privilege, and patriarchal limitations, aligning with progressive values by exposing systemic injustices and the struggles of an ambitious woman.
This adaptation of 'Vanity Fair' maintains traditional casting for its 19th-century English setting, with no explicit race or gender swaps of established roles. The narrative offers social commentary on class, ambition, and gender roles within that historical context, providing an indirect critique of societal norms rather than an explicit focus on modern DEI themes.
Secondary
The film portrays Christian society, particularly the English upper classes, as deeply hypocritical and judgmental. Religious piety is often depicted as a superficial facade used to maintain social standing and justify selfish actions, with little genuine moral guidance or compassion shown by its adherents.
