Primary
The film critiques the dehumanizing effects of extreme exploitation and violence, championing the redemptive power of love, compassion, and a nurturing environment as the solution for reclaiming human dignity. This strong emphasis on empathy and rehabilitation aligns with progressive humanistic values.

Its narrative focuses on individual character arcs and themes of redemption, rather than offering a critique of traditional identities or centering explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
