Leans Traditional
Primary
The film's dominant themes align with right-leaning values by portraying the failure of institutions to maintain order and protect individuals, ultimately championing individual, punitive action as the solution to systemic breakdown.
The film features visible diversity in its cast, particularly reflecting its urban school setting, without explicitly recasting traditionally white roles. Its narrative focuses on systemic challenges and individual struggles within that environment, rather than offering a critique of traditional identities or making explicit DEI themes central to the story.
