Center
Primary
The film receives a neutral rating because its central thesis champions universal moral principles, individual responsibility, and the integrity of the rule of law against authoritarianism, rather than promoting a specific left or right political ideology.
This historical drama features traditional casting that accurately reflects its 1961 production and the historical period it depicts, with no intentional race or gender swaps. The narrative focuses on justice and moral responsibility within a specific historical context, without critiquing traditional identities through a modern DEI lens.
Secondary
The film explicitly condemns the Nazi persecution of homosexuals as a horrific crime against humanity. Through the legal proceedings, it frames these acts as grave injustices, thereby affirming the worth of those targeted, despite not featuring central LGBTQ+ characters.
The film critiques the moral failings and complicity of individuals and institutions (many of whom were Christian) in Nazi atrocities, rather than condemning Christianity itself. It implicitly affirms the universal moral principles that were violated, which align with core Christian ethics.
