Center
Primary
The film explores the complex moral landscape of the underworld and human nature through its protagonist, focusing on ambiguity and observation rather than explicitly promoting a specific political ideology or offering a clear solution.
The film features a cast that reflects the natural diversity of Brazilian society, without explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. Its narrative offers a critical look at power and masculinity within a broader societal context, rather than through explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
The film critically portrays adherents of Christianity, specifically Catholicism, by exposing their hypocrisy and moral failings. Characters, including the titular gangster, often invoke religious concepts or engage in superficial acts of piety while committing violent crimes or exhibiting distorted moralities. The narrative uses these portrayals to highlight societal corruption and the problematic application of faith, without offering a significant counterbalancing positive depiction of the religion's virtues.
