Leans Traditional
Primary
The film critiques the dehumanizing exploitation of the working class under extreme industrial capitalism, while also cautioning against the destructive chaos of unguided revolution, ultimately advocating for a centrist solution of mediation and understanding between capital and labor.
The film features a cast predominantly composed of white European actors, reflecting the cinematic norms of its time without intentional diversity in casting. Its narrative primarily focuses on socio-economic themes of class struggle and industrialization, rather than offering a critique of traditional identities through a modern DEI lens.
Secondary
The film uses strong Christian allegories, particularly through Maria's Christ-like role as a mediator and the narrative's emphasis on love and empathy, to present a positive vision for human connection and spiritual guidance. It contrasts these virtues with the dehumanizing aspects of unchecked industrialism.
