Primary

The film focuses on apolitical themes of adventure, romance, and individual heroism in an exotic setting. Its conflicts are resolved through personal bravery and traditional narrative tropes, rather than promoting or critiquing any specific political ideology.

The film features traditional casting, predominantly with white actors, and does not appear to include intentional race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. Its narrative framing is consistent with its era, presenting traditional identities neutrally or positively without explicit DEI critiques.

Secondary
